I really liked this book but I think you have to be a big Mad Men fan to truly enjoy it. However, if you've never seen the show and are a history buff, there are tons of historical details regarding events that took place in the 1960's.

I liked this book, but it could have been stronger and had more depth. It's mostly summaries of the episodes with mild analysis, historical tidbits, and drink recipes thrown in. The summaries were slow going and became tedious to read near the end. The additional information could have been increased; it was what I most enjoyed.
Fun book for fans of the show, gives some historical context and fun facts about the actors, etc. I got it from the library and it expired before I finished, but it was fun nonetheless
Oh my gosh, Im currently reading this book, so far i like this....
Having been obsessed with Mad Men for a while, I looked forward to read this. All in all it was an interesting read, but I would have preferred the summaries of the episode to be shorter and instead the political and social context to be further elaborated.
