'Life Of The Party'
A Visual History of S.S. Adams
Makers of Pranks & Magic For 100 Years
And here, I present to you a pop culture tome of essential reading fun for kids of all ages.
Here are all of the mondo-keen goodies from the back pages of the comics of our pasts ... goodies that we either sent away for and were disappointed with upon arrival ... or wish we had sent away for, never did, and were still disappointed over, because we always wondered what we had missed!
Featured in full color are the actual items themselves, as gazed upon in dime stores and truck stops by a multitude of children. Gags, jokes, tricks and novelities .., along with rarities, original store branding and ads, letters, trivia, company history and much much more.
Hardcover, 200 pages, and oversized at a generous 9" by 12" ... just from the sample pages alone, this is a sumptous treat that will bring back a calvacade of memories. Author Kirk Demarais http://www.secretfunspot.com/ has created an amazing piece of printed shared memory.
Why such an undertaking of love seems to be a well-kept secret is beyond me, but I am delighted to have discovered it all the same.
