“Whether we like it or not, most American habits, tastes, and institutions are eventually imported into Britain: American pop-songs and hair styles – and American advertising techniques.  Thus the frightening processes evolved and applied by American super-advertising-scientists are having an increasing effect upon the potential victims in Britain.
Whether you regard the activities of the mental depth advertisers as terrifying, disquieting, highly amusing or just rather charming, you will find much to engage your conscious mind in this book.”
