Even at this point, Wenner was still on the receiving end of the hype, even if he had consciously courted it, but from here there would only be a short step to self-hype, a move that Wenner was not above making. Out came the two-page ads in this autumn's issues of Rolling Stone touting the upcoming tenth anniversary television show and the accompanying special issue.

...first step in selling is stopping the eye. No one has mastered that rule of advertising as well as Adman George Lois. For more than two decades he has married the outrageous to the fantastic. The Art of Advertising (Abrams; 325 pages; $45) is a portfolio of his campaigns and some of the 92 covers he did for Esquire.
