Book Advertisements in the New York Times, 1962-73

Paper Cuts is a new blog from the senior editor of the New York Times Book Review, Dwight Garner. He starts things off on an interesting note with a look at some of the book advertisements from the paper’s pages from the years 1962-73. “Why those dates? The books - and the ads for them - were terrific: fresh, pushy, serious and wry, often all at the same time. There was a new sense of electricity in the culture and in the book world.”
