Vintage, Bizarro Postcards - Reviews
Bizarro postcards is a book with plenty of fizz. Each page twangs an undernourished string which is currently sat bored, drinking from a brown mug in your subconscious. Each page is dripping wet from your sweaty hands. Ignore the off putting cover, the entrails are far more interesting. Cheap to boot.michael croweLiechtenstein |

My cousin just gave me this book for Christmas a few hours ago. He gave it to me because he had walked into a store in Charlottesville, Va., picked up the book and flipped it open. The page that it opened to happened to be a page with my father on it! My dad is actually the second from the left in the TV station news picture.
What a hoot! Thanks for the book! Oh, the other pictures are great too. V.T.B.United States |

A great amount of crap art and kistch. photos that show how the bad taste had ruled the world since the 60s. Buy it! It's so funny! Laughs are guaranteed!Marc Tadeo, 19 yearsSpain |

A definite coffee-table staple and lifestyle statement. Just like others who look at it for the first time I was completely dumbfounded at the begining. What is this about?? Then you begin to appreciate the fifties-futuristic visions, the premonitions of a fledgling consumerist boom, the audacious motel architecture and wicked interior design, all with a really twisted twist. I really wish I could see my boyfriend in a pair of Big Sir Slacks and a Stretch Knit Lace Shirt. Listen to Burt Baccarach while flipping through this one. I just wish they made this in a bigger size.Naan DeutschPoland |

this book is really unbelievable.
when i bought it i had no idea of what i could expect or what the hell i should do with it. now i know: just browse through it and have fun. for me as a designer it offers lots of inspiration. good drug. matt zschalerGermany |

This is possibly my favourite book. Why does that man say the cover is not good?! The woman reminds me of Enid Coleslaw.
Basically, this book is a pictorial representaion of a large chunk of my intended future existence. I love it, and was nearly bought another copy of it by my sister (she didn't realise I had it already), because it is THE BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD (with some exceptions). Alix WardenUnited Kingdom |
