Adverts

Book club adverts were more fun thirty-five years ago. I have just bought a copy of "The Sunday Times Magazine" from January 1972 (because it has a Tolkien interview in), and the ad on the back cover has heading "Your Illusions about Russian Women Shattered - for only 95p". It turns out to be an ad for War and Peace.
