Mail-Order Mysteries

MAIL-ORDER MYSTERIES: REAL STUFF FROM OLD COMIC BOOK ADS by Kirk Demarais (Insight Editions)
More than merely cataloguing cheap junk advertised in comics of the 1960s-80s, Demarais actually tracked down artifacts such as X-Ray Glasses, mini-spy camera and Raquel Welch pillow in order to posthumously rate their value and level of consumer fraud! A lovingly compiled, nicely designed treasury of (mostly) childhood hope-crushing dross.
