Now this is how you sell a book. The NYT has a slideshow of old book ads from the Sixties and Seventies.

You’ve got Gonzo here (with a long, glowing blurb from Vonnegut, which is awesome) plus a bunch of other authors including Tom Wolfe, Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, and Joan Didion.

(Via kottke, of course. Get off my back.)
