DESCRIPTION:
I've loved it all my life! Suzanne J. Winters My father was a co-author of this delightful little book. In the 1930's he and his friend, Al Brown, went on vacation to Washington, D.C. With time on their hands and fueled with a little beer, they found themselves in the U.S. Patent office looking up odd things that had actually gotten patents. "A Most Amusing Book" according to A Customer. This is one of the most hilarious books you will ever browse, and will be eager to share with a someone. It is a treat. It induces nothing but side-splitting belly laughs without ever trying. The book lists actual patents obtained, by inventive out-of-the-box thinkers and tinkerers. It beats any. Great Book! krk@stanford.edu Ever wonder where all those examples of crazy inventions come from? This is the book. Glasses for chickens, dimple maker.all sorts of crazy ideas. Maybe it will stimulate some new ideas. Either way, it's so cheap you can't go wrong.
Hilarious but real inventions including edible tie pin, automatically tipping hat, metal locket for storing chewed gum — all patented.
