All-American Ads of the 90s (English, French and German Edition)

Okay, I'm obsessed with the All-American Ads of the 90s book. I got it as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend, and it's been so entertaining flipping through its pages together. Cozy evenings, a cup of coffee in hand, and a trip down memory lane through the ads that defined the 90s.The selection in this book is pure gold. From fashion trends that make you cringe to products that you forgot even existed, it's a nostalgic rollercoaster. We found ourselves laughing, reminiscing, and talking about everything these ads brought up.What's cool is that it's not just ads; it's a snapshot of the culture, the vibes, and the spirit of the 90s. It's like a time capsule that transports you back to the days of dial-up internet and Tamagotchis.The layout and design are spot-on. The visuals are vibrant, and the commentary adds that extra layer of context that makes each ad feel like a piece of history. It's the kind of book that sparks conversations and brings back memories you didn't even know you had.So now we decided to make it a thing. Collecting all the different decades of All-American Ads is officially on our bucket list.Sure, it's a tad pricier than your average book, but the joy and nostalgia it brings are absolutely priceless. If you're a 90s kid or just someone who appreciates a good flashback, the All-American Ads of the 90s book is a must-have. Trust me, it's the gift that keeps on giving!

This is a great coffee table book! Everyone that sits in the chairs next to this table always reaches for this book first! It’s a great reminder of a great decade! You need it.

I got this book as a housewarming gift for my sister and her husband, who were both born in the ’90s. They absolutely loved it! It’s full of fun, nostalgic American ads and makes a great coffee table book. A unique and personal touch for their new home.

Incredible compilation of ads from the 90s. Would highly recommend to anyone that loves that era!

A really outstanding book. It's obviously a high-quality publication and it looks nice on a shelf, but the printing and binding is great and it's a lot of fun to look through. I was a little disappointed in the print quality on a few of the ads in the 80s volume (probably due to limited original sources), but didn't really see that in this one. Highly recommend for anyone who lived through the 90s.

Excelente colección, muy buena calidad

The first time I'd heard of Taschen, it was looking at this book. I know I love the style, color, quality and the whole thing.Also, I greatly appreciate the wrap used to protect it from humidity. They're perfect. Unlike another big book that came in the same box--without a protective wrap--with full-thickness warping cover-to-cover.No, these books are quality & shipped as such.

I collected all eight volumes from the original sequential series release (1900 thru 1920 is in one volume). It is an INCREDIBLE history of 20th century USA. I really treasure the set, and since I lived through the last four decades of the century these brought back lots of good memories. But I was always disappointed they never made a volume for the 90s. Maybe they needed some time to determine which ads were going to truly be classic??So, I was recently delighted to see that Taschen finally was going to put out a volume for that last decade!! My collection would finally be complete!!! When it was listed, Amazon described it as a "hardback." I wasn't sure what that meant--to the best of my recollection this series was only in the "Flexi" cover--a thick but flexible cardboard. The Flexi cover really could be described as both paperback and hardback, because it is somewhere in between. I even emailed Taschen from their website, and they assured me it was the same format as the original series!!! Right on!!!Unfortunately, this is a real cloth-bound hardback with a dust cover. It is beautifully done, with all the great imagery you expect from Taschen--but it does not match the rest of my set. I have several hundred dollars invested in the set, and I'd like to keep it consistent, both for aesthetics and for investment value (haha--books are notoriously bad investments).So the dilemma for me now is: Do I send the 90s back and hope that they will eventually do it in a Flexi-cover?? Or do I keep it and just consider it fortunate that they finally covered the 90s?? But then, if they eventually publish a Flexi-cover, do I buy that one as well and give this hardcover as a gift??I'm particularly peeved that the "customer service rep" at Taschen has little knowledge of their own history or product. I would think she could have easily investigated the issue I exactingly described and given me an accurate answer.Most of you are familiar with the entire series. This new 90s addition is probably fine as a stand-alone, but if you are interested in this content at all I can practically guarantee that you will want the entire series. Just be wary and try to buy matching editions....I have learned it can be tricky. BTW, I think I actually prefer the Flexi cover--it is much easier to peruse and it protects the book's colorful content just fine.

El "feeling" de la editorial es único. Me ha gustado mucho la forma de segmentar los anuncios y las evaluaciones del propio autor.

I have a few of these books already and I love them

Excellent book for lovers of pop culture with a bit of social commentary. This book covers everything from car ads, tobacco ads, travel ads, tv and movie promo, and phone ads. Buy it to step back in time or just simply for inspiration.

Compared to the 60s-80s, the 90s are a harder-to-define amalgam, even uglier here and there.

Complets the 20th century of ads
