BOOK LOOK
So I was going through our "new" nonfiction books, pulling out things that are definitely not new anymore, and I came across these three gems. For quick picks and chuckles,
101 *un*useless Japaneses inventions by Kenji Kawakami

What's That Smell? by Tucker Shaw

Dear Mr. Mackin... by Richard Mackin
Once a Mass resident, Mackin began entertaining the underground zine culture with "consumer defense corporate poetry" - and then got into writing letters to companies about their products - his initial letter a question about what "m&m" stands for. In this book, you'll get to read what Mackin writes to McDonald's, Ramen, Keebler, Frito-Lay, and many more - and see how they responded!

These books will be shelved upstairs with the adult nonfiction. Find & Enjoy!
