Mad Men collection

Madison Avenue, early 1960s: cigarette smoke drifts above the layouts and the whisky sits on the desk before noon! Created by Matthew Weiner and launched on AMC in 2007, Mad Men puts Don Draper, a brilliant adman with a locked-away past, at the head of creative at Sterling Cooper. Around him, Peggy Olson leaves the secretarial pool for copywriting, Joan Holloway rules over the secretaries with quiet authority, while Roger Sterling and Pete Campbell handle the accounts over boozy lunches. By the time the ties get wider, the series has run through a whole decade, from precision-tuned client pitches to the cracks that the perfect slogan no longer hides. What remains is a poisonous elegance that carries over onto the shelves, from books that dissect the era to figures where Don keeps his unreadable stare!
