An Auction Site Is Selling 'Mad Men' Ephemera, Including Don Draper's Books

One of the most visually complex TV shows of all time was the recently-ended Mad Men, but it was never as detailed as when Don Draper busted out some books or magazines that just so happened to mirror his inner turmoil. If you’re a Mad Men superfan and want a tangible piece of that post-war American ennui, you’re in luck!
