How to Write and Sell Confessions Feldhake 1980 Submitter: From a large public library that recently weeded the 800s/authorship how to’s. This had circed in the last 5 years, which is surprising considering that these “true confessions” magazines don’t really
Steal This Urine Test: Fighting Drug Hysteria in America Hoffman 1987 Submitter: Perhaps this would be best described as an awful book cover as the content is (from the bit I’ve browsed) actually a well-organized and well-researched argument against mandatory
