Preppies, Popcorn and Assorted Photos

As promised, here are the books and other assorted items I purchased at the Women's Auxiliary Book Sale last week. Most (if not all) are currently out-of-print, which only makes me love them more. (From left to right)


Graphic Worlds of Peter Bruegel the Elder by H. Arthur Klein © 1963
Comments: Some really great woodcut clipart. Since I used to (and would love to start up again) create collages with woodcut clipart, I HAD to get it. They are getting harder and harder to find (re: books containing woodcut clipart that I haven't seen).
The Homosexual & The Law by Roger S. Mitchell © 1969
Comments: I love reading older books on "homosexuality." They're a neverending source of amusement and bewilderment for me.
The Best of LIFE © 1975
Comments: This photo anthology of photos from Life magazine are breathtaking. They cover the gamut from the political to the whimsical. I love it!
Popcorn by Larry Kusche © 1977
Comments: All recipes about popcorn and how to prepare it. You'll definitely be seeing some of these recipes in a later blog!
Laughing Camera II © 1969 (B&W photo anthology)
Cake and Food Decorating Year Book by Wilton © 1972
Great Days of the Circus © 1962
Comments: Contains some fantastic images of circus 'freaks' and old circus posters!
This House is Haunted! by Elizabeth P. Hoffman © 1977
The Pictorial Treasury of Film Stars: Marlon Brando by Rene Jordan © 1973
Handling Your Ups and Downs by Joy Wilt © 1979
Comments: You're never too young to learn about disappointment!
Photo-Oil Coloring For Fun or Profit by Lucile Robertson Marshall © 1947
Comments: The images in this old book are kitsch-o-licious! Someone even left an old 4X4 photo negative in the book!
Tales for a Rainy Night © 1961
Comments: I love anthologies of scary stories!
The I-Hate-Preppies Handbook by Ralph Schoenstein © 1981
Comments: Can't wait to add it to my "handbook" collection: The Official Preppy Handbook and The Official J.A.P. Handbook (both versions)!
Mad Libs: Volumes 5 & 2 © 1979 (not shown)
Phantom of The Opera (animated) © 1987 VHS (not shown)
Thundercats: Safari Joe © 1985 VHS (not shown)
