Book Ads from The Armchair Detective (Fall 1993)

I love book advertising in all its forms—especially the printed variety. The ads below appeared in the Fall 1993 issue of the marvelous Armchair Detective . The Worldwide Books ad was on the inside front cover and Eleanor Taylor Bland’s Dead Time was on the facing page.  I’ve seen the Barbara Paul and Gwendoline Butler titles in used bookstores dozens of times over the years, but it took this ad to convince me I’m going to buy them next time.  Click the image for a better view.
