SynopsisHow does advertising really work? This thoroughly revised edition of Ivan Preston's popular classic, "The Great American Blow-Up, provides new examples of puffery and deceit in advertising.

In a new concluding chapter, Preston describes and assesses developments in the field of advertising from the mid-1970s to the present.
