Daily Book Graphics #220 / Emergency

Most people are aware of the great music that came out of the Citizen's Band Radio craze of the 1970's. Sadly the literature of CB Radio is often overlooked. ©1977

Daily Book Graphics #217 / Art Nouveau

I think the color choices on this cover represent the modernist hatred of Art Nouveau.

Daily Book Graphics #215 / Nuclear Monkeys





The premise of this book is that everybody needs (or needed) a lot of convincing that the negatives of nuclear war out weigh the positives. The monkey is on each page with a sign that refers to the subject of the text. ©1985

Daily Book Graphics #212 / Girl Scouts


This symbol fascinates me, it is so weird and ominous, the black planet, the rainbow, the atomic symbol...

I guess the Girl Scouts and Brownies are a kind of paramilitary organization, maybe in the 70s they a plan for world domination.


This illustration depicts the futurist world the Girl Scouts will create.
