Book Giveaway - Ad Boy by Warren Dotz

Courtesy of the Ten Speed Press, I have a copy Warren Dotz's new book, Ad Boy: Vintage Advertising with Character, to give away to a lucky reader! If you or know someone who would love this book, here are the rules to enter:

1. Enter by leaving a comment here.
2. The contest will run until Monday, June 29, 2009, at NOON EST. The winner will be selected through random drawing, contacted by email, listed in an upcoming post.
3. Please leave a valid email address, so I can contact you if you win! If the winner hasn't responded within three days, an alternate winner will be chosen by random drawing.

If you'd like extra entries, you can:

• Subscribe to my RSS feed–leave me a separate comment to let me know.
• Mention this contest on your blog with a link back to this post, and leave a separate comment with the link to your post so I can find it.
• Either Twitter, Stumble, Digg, or Facebook this post–leave me a separate comment with your username at whichever site(s) you chose (one extra entry per method).

So, that's a total of seven comments/entries if you do all of the extra entry options.

For those who missed it, I interviewed Warren about one of his previous books, Firecrackers. Warren is a pop culture historian, collector, designer, and the author of eight other books on advertising art.

About Ad Boy (from the publisher): "The postwar economic boom launched a generation of charming, cheeky, and relentlessly cheerful critters and characters that found their way into our homes--and our hearts--in print, on television, and on packaging. Some took detours that reflected the times (Elsie the Cow was sent into outer space in 1958). Some were fashion victims who survived (remember hippy Hush Puppies, circa 1969?). And some are no longer with us (the Frito Bandito was finally brought to justice in 1971). These endearingly offbeat characters are as fresh and entertaining today as they were creatively inspired in decades past."

You can purchase Ad Boy directly from the publisher at Ten Speed Press. 

The winner of the book will receive it shipped directly from the publisher—so, you'll know it's a fresh, crisp, new book and not my dog-eared copy.

Good luck!
