The eight chapters discuss television programmes, advertisements and magazines, as well as works of fiction and non-fiction.

Intellectually challenging, witty and amusing, this is an important book. Students, scholars with an interest in popular culture, especially television, film and advertising. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
