The Eternal Pursuit of Unhappiness

Ogilvy & Mather, 2009

Hardcover, red cloth binding

This is a scarce internal publication produced by Ogilvy & Mather in 2009, reflecting the agency's corporate culture and creative philosophy as articulated by David Ogilvy. The book was not mass-marketed and was distributed in limited quantities, making surviving copies uncommon—especially in complete condition.

This example includes the original fold-out corporate brochure insert, a piece that is frequently missing and significantly enhances collectibility.

Condition

• Overall: Very Good+ / Excellent-

• Interior: Clean and unmarked; no writing, stamps, or ownership marks

• Binding: Tight and sound

• Cover: Bright red cloth with minor lint-like speckling to the front and a small, faint stain at the top of the rear cover (cosmetic only)

• Extras: Ribbon bookmark intact; brochure present and well preserved

The book presents very well and is superior in condition to many recent high-value examples that have sold.

Notes on Rarity

Copies of The Eternal Pursuit of Unhappiness appear infrequently on the secondary market. Complete examples with the original brochure are particularly hard to find and are sought after by advertising professionals, Ogilvy alumni, and collectors of 20th-century creative culture.
