Don's bedtime research: The Best of Everything

Jaffe's 1958 novel follows young women working at a New York publishing house, which makes it the Sterling Cooper secretarial floor with better book deals. The 1959 film cast Joan Crawford as a senior editor. Betty watches it in the same episode and is not kind about how Crawford has aged.
