Today's post comes from one our readers.

Are there are any fans of Mad Men amongst the Forgotten Bookmarks followers? Published in 1960, the same year that Mad Men's story begins, this cover bears a striking resemblance to the opening credits of the series. Inside, was a black and white photo of two children (a real "Sally" and "Bobby")? This was found in the donations box at my mother's assisted living facility."

So Dies The Dreamer, a Red Badge Mystery Novel by Ursula Curtiss. Published by Dodd, Mead & Co., New York, 1960.

Thanks, Peggy

Thank you, Peggy.

    I love Mad Men........it's such a well done series! I find that amazing that the book cover and the names of the children are so similar to those in the show.
    Thanks for sharing.

    The mystery deepens when one considers the contributor's name. Could this "Peggy" indeed be the real Peggy Olson?
