Things that interested me in 1971
So yesterday I spot this book behind my counter at the shop.
It was a book I read when I was eleven years old. I read it numerous times.
All In Color For A Dime.
I read it so much it was falling apart.
{Hmmmmmm....this copy here is falling apart!}
So I flip through book.
On the last page is a coupon that you could order other books from the publisher.
The coupon is filled out in pencil.
By me.
From 1971.
My own book from 1971 is behind my counter.
I must have sold it years ago and then bought it back recently from the guy who bought it.
So what book did I mean to buy via a coupon in the back of this book?
WHY DID THEY NAME IT? by Hannah Campbell. The story behind the stories of the brand names that have become household words.

I was eleven years old. For some reason this interested me. But not enough to actually send in my ninety five cents plus fifteen cents postage.
