I came across this book (above) when Ava saw it on a shelf of a book store recently. As I browsed through it I loved its kitschy tone and colourful  pictures. I love the innuendos and all the suggestions. And I love the love the fact that they put a Joan Holloway paper doll and clothes at the end of the book to play with. I am not surprised because she has the best figure and clothes to play with! But, I had no idea that “Roger Sterling” had written a book! Apparently, it has been out since November 2010. The description below is what I got from Amazon.

Sterling’s Gold: Wit and Wisdom of an Ad Man

About:  When it premiered in 2007, the Mad Men series sparked a cultural phenomenon that now boasts over three million viewers. With a long list of awards including three back-to-back Golden Globes and three consecutive Emmys for Outstanding Drama Series, Mad Men has captivated the world with its brilliant portrayal of the 1960s and stylish characters, including the dashing advertising mogul Roger Sterling. Directing and discovering some of the sharpest talents in the business, Roger has shown an uncanny flair for unique methods of motivation and a tireless genius, resulting in campaigns that raise the advertising standard across the country, and acquiring a reputation for his quips, barbs, and witticisms along the way. Presented as Roger’s memoir during the fourth season of Mad Men, and published as a lost classic,”f Sterling’s Gold is the entertaining collection of our favorite ad man’s best one-liners.
Roger Sterling’s pithy comments and observations amount to a unique window into the advertising world—a world that few among us are privileged to witness firsthand—as well as a commentary on life in New York City in the middle of the twentieth century. Cleverly designed and accented by design elements and attractive color photographs, and encased in an elegant, compact period package, it’s a must-have for any Mad Men fan.

Anyway, I had to rush out of this store quickly and put down the book because I was so distracted, cause I heard this baby screaming and screaming and I hate when I hear any child let out blood curdling screams cause it makes me want to cry too out of frustration, but not enough that I didn’t say to Ava, “Can’t the mother please put a tit or a chew toy in that baby’s mouth!”

Possums, I always say this.

What I didn’t expect that the whole magazine section would hear me and laugh! I smiled meekly and hot-tailed out of there!

It’s true what Ava says-I do whisper too loud!
