Back in the 70s some US publishers inserted ads in paperback books. The ads were printed on cardstock and bound into the center of the book. Here's an example pulled at random off the bookshelf.

@davevolek @catselbow @breadandcircuses Ah, I just posted my own photos of those, but I couldn't find any examples with the inserts like cigarette ads.
