The Mechanical Bride: Folklore of Industrial Man
Author(s): Marshall McLuhan
Social Sciences | Some of the week's interesting, unusual, collectable Book Finds
Published in 1967. Beacon Paperback No. 265. The book that first established Marshall McLuhan's reputation as the foremost (and funniest) critic of modern mass communication. Aptly (and amply) illustrated with examples of ads, comic strip pieces that show how sex sells industrial hardware and how the bombardment of mass entertainment and suggestion leaves us so dazed we no longer even know if we are happy.
Good condition overall. Cover, binding - firm. Pages are clean and sound. Ex library -Dewey label, stamps, due date slip and envelope on inside back cover.
