The LBJ Coloring Book

In honor of today being Election Day in the United States, I thought I would share a very strange piece of political ephemera from 1964. This is the LBJ Coloring Book. The coloring book was published  in 1964 by Gem Publishing and was written by Norman Miller and Illustrated by Cal Massey.

In 1964, Lyndon Baines Johnson was running for President of the United States. He had been President  for less than a year by the time this book came out (after the assassination of John Kennedy), and had enough skeletons out of the closet that Norman Miller and the (presumed) Republicans created this coloring book so you could see and color them all. It's full of dated references and drunk driving and told from the prospective of Her, one of the Johnson's dogs. See all 22 pages and the key after the jump.

Let's Discover Cats

Here we have a 1964 book, as presented by ABC TV's DISCOVERY and published by the Saalfield Publishing Company entitled "LET'S DISCOVER CATS." You will learn everything you need to know to spot a cat and gain the ability to differentiate cats from a buffalo or a large raccoon.

The Exciting World of Dinosaurs at Sinclair Dinoland - New York World's Fair 1964-65

Sinclair Dinoland was an exhibit at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. Sinclair had used a brontosaurus as their mascot for years so it made perfect sense for them to have an exhibit featuring "LIFE-SIZE" dinosaurs.
This particular item is a 16 page brochure with background on Sinclair and the dinosaurs that roamed the World's Fair exhibit. You will learn all about dinosaurs and why Sinclair quality oil is the best.

Get That "Marry-a-Millionaire" Look - 1964 Frederick's of Hollywood Catalog

This is a 1964 Frederick's of Hollywood catalog featuring 519 tips on how to get "That Marry-a-Millionaire Look." These are some of the most ridiculous outfits you can imagine and some of the weirdest underwear on Earth. The blow-up (straw, not explosion) bra might take the cake for the greatest failed invention of all time.
I am trying something different and using thumbnails that link back to my flickr account. There you can see the entire catalog in any number of sizes. Let me know if it's too difficult or annoying.
