Here are my two recent favorites:
Practical Astrology: How to make it work for you 1967 (it circulated about
once a month from 1970 to 1974)
How Do You Spank a Porcupine? 1969 (no, I didn't make this one up)
CB Radios: a practical guide 1978
PG&E of California 1952 (the preface talks about daring, courage, and
vision-we don't use those adjectives in California when discussing PG&E
anymore)
I posted these about a month ago as I was weeding before packing the
library for new carpeting.
UFOs? Yes! 1968
Moped: the wonder vehicle 1976
Famine 1975!: America's decision: who will survive? 1967
Communes in America: the place just right 1972
Astrology: the space age science 1966
Biorythms 1976
Personal Computer Communication (1983) this book gives advice on how to
select an acoustic coupler type modem... those were the days!
and my all time favorite (drum roll...)
Open marriage: a new life style for couples 1972 (how this ever got into a
high school library, I'll never know)

Subject: GEN: Weeding--what have you dug up?
Good morning!
For the last couple of years, we have asked our fellow lm_netters to
share with us, and each other, some of the amazingly awful titles found
while weeding your collection. It's even part of our Weed of the Month
web site -- http://www.sunlink.ucf.edu/weed/ and click on "Things we've
dug up" on the left menu bar.
So...it's that time of the year! Did you find anything while weeding
that was deliciously appalling? Please share it with us, and with
lm_net. We will post it on our site In August, just in time for the new
school year. [We list names, but not your school name or state.]
Thanks! And have a great summer!
