Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
Written from the outside with access to inside information and records, Professor Hower's History of an Advertising Agency: N. W. Ayer & Son at Work avoids the over-praise of a memorial volume written solely from within an organization, and at the same time has more reality than the cold clinical history of an individual or institution written solely from public records.
