- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This book is not what I expected. Oh, I didn't expect anything brimming with brilliance. But I did expect something original.I expected some advice for being in the advertising business. Sure, it could be little snippets. Little one-liners. Though I would prefer something a little more lengthy than that. There's plenty of business books out there that manage to say very little with a whole lot of words.What this book actually is is just a bunch of quotes from the show (Mad Men). They're arranged into categories. And that's about it. And some of the quotes don't even make a lot of sense out of the context of the show. And at least two "chapters" are taken up by quotes about women, not advertising or business.It's an incredibly quick read. It's an even faster read than if you went to IMDB's Mad Men page and read all the quotes there. Since these quotes are only from one character.I hope no one spends money on this, not even for a gift. If you must read it, borrow it from the library. Or stand (you don't even have to sit) and read it in the bookstore.A friend, K, likened it to the book version of the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition. Well, I'd rather read those. Those are actually useful advice!
