Crucial Beauty Titles for Men and Women

While weeding the Beauty section, I came across two crucial titles for men and women:

Hair Techniques and Alternatives to Baldness
by John Mayhew
Owerri [Nigeria] ; New York : Trado-Medic Books, 1983

and

The Complete Book of Makeup
by Sarah Collins
[New York] : Greenwich House : Distributed by Crown, 1983

Mayhew's book provides integral information on male-hair-care in the advanced years. Perhaps most valuable is the following diagram

For women --- especially for librarians! --- Collins' book provides two exemplary looks for day and evening.

Who Controls Your Mind?!

"Mind Control in the United States" by Steven Jacobson, with an Introduction by Antony C. Sutton (1985), documents the use of hypnotic and subliminal suggestion in advertising and the general media.

Jacobson presents the idea of hypnotic mind control in the context of a ruling class/conspiracy analysis of our society. His information is actually well-researched and referenced. However, looking at the cover alone conjurs up some pretty amusing mental images, and actually works against the author's attempt to create a sense of validity. I'm sure other books have been written that cover the same topic, but, ironically, a less-obvious title (and perhaps an appropriately worded sub-title) likely make them appear to be more reliable -- or at least less sensationalistic...

The Pantyhose Craft Book

Although this book was published in the 70's, I think today's recycling minded world will love it too! Why let those old pantyhose go to waste when you can create useful things like hammocks, rugs and really disturbing dolls! The Kitchy Kitchy Coo site has some great photos.
