Longread #289 -- All of the Lights -- 4/4/13

I don't think I will ever read an entire book about the history of neon, but I really enjoyed this review of some of the books on the topic. Our associations with neon are pretty interesting ranging from the basic "Open" sign to the largess of Las Vegas to the cliche clothing of the 80s.
