This week we’re back in New York City (surprise, surprise) and it seems to be a rather slim-pickings week, at least based on the ads (perhaps this is an indication that hotter stuff was being shown but not yet advertised). As always, enjoy.

VINTAGE AD – 250 BOOK CENTER/G&A BOOKS (NYC)
Another vintage television advertisement which aired during an episode of Emerald City, a gay-oriented TV show which ran in New York City from 1976 to 1979. This ad for the 250 Book Center (250 W 42nd Street) and G&A Books (251 W 42nd Street) came from Episode 31, 1977. Apologies for the poor audio quality,…
