At long last, Mad Men finally returns for its 5^th season this Sunday. After a long hiatus, the show that’s captivated viewers with its stylish recreation of 1960s Madison Avenue life is back.

If you’re looking to learn more about the smoke-filled and booze-fueled world of the mid-century advertising business, check out these illuminating NOOK Books:

Refresh your memory—it’s been almost a year-and-a-half since Season 2 concluded—with the comprehensive episode guide Kings of Madison Avenue. More than just a blow-by-blow recap, McClean’s book offers sociological and cultural context for the show’s themes and plot points.

In Mad Women, a real-life Peggy Olsen—Jane Maas—reveals what it was really like to be a young woman working on Madison Avenue in the ‘60s and ‘70s, leaving no secret untold. Think the ribald world of Sterling Cooper Draper Price is far-fetched? Think again.

The only Mad Men star bigger than John Hamm is the show’s impeccable fashion. In fact, life’s begun imitating art, with professional men and women taking a cue from the show and upgrading their work-day wardrobe to emulate their favorite characters. In her beautiful book, The Fashion File, the show's Emmy-award winning costume designer Janie Bryant takes readers behind the scenes, and into the closets, of Mad Men. Now anyone can look like they’ve stepped straight off of the set.
