I had a book once that had a full color spread for the movie in the middle of the book. Obviously this was a skippable ad, but still, it’s inescapable.

    I've been collecting old books for years. Currently slogging through Mellives collection of stories printed in 1968. Could find a copy of the book turned movie, printed before the movie?

    Some of those old books had ads for cigarettes in them! Mostly the cheaper paperbacks. For some reason it wasn't as annoying, it was more of a historical artifact, an indication of the context in which the book was originally read.
