The Book: Official Guide - New York World's Fair 1964/1965. By Time-Life Book Editors. Found: Garage Sale
I grew up in New York so I have a penchant for any type of NYC literature. Plus, I have fond memories of driving by the giant (12- storys tall) NYC World's Fair "Unisphere"globe as a little kid on familly outings to the city. So naturally I would fall in love with this little gem . It's a 312 page souvenier program from the fair and contains a plethora of 60's era nostalgia. The ads are the best with their campy, self assured slogans. It's like a condensed episode of Mad Men...
A few of my favorites...
HONDA- "You meet the nicest people on a Honda."
DELTA - "The airline with the BIG JETS!"
CANADIAN CLUB WHISKEY- "Wherever you go...there it is! "The best in the house in 87 lands."
LINCOLN CONTINENTAL - "Notice the kind of person who enjoys it."
KENT CIGARETTES- "Filter...taste and pleasure. Kent satisfies best."
REVLON- "The world's fairest know... if its the finest in cosmetics it's by Revlon."
GENERAL CIGAR - "Meet me under the smoke rings."
CHEMICAL BANK- "From key men of today...to key men of tomorrow."
TWA - "See the World's Fair...then see the world, on TWA"
Tucked inside the middle of the guide I also found this slip of paper...
