The magazine industry serves as a window into postwar media and consumer society, showing how the dynamics of market research and commercial print helped shaped ideas about place, mobility and class.<\/p>\n<p>By offering a prototype for new forms of marketing thought that connected leisure, lifestyles and a postindustrial service economy, the selling of mid-20th-century travel helped usher in a more segmented and experience-oriented consumer culture.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, see <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/N2wzsw\">http:\/\/amzn.to\/N2wzsw<\/a> or contact the author directly at
