Title
"It's Best to Know" -- About Alcohol
Description
[32 unnumbered pages : color illustrations; 17 x 13 cm, “IT’S BEST TO KNOW…ABOUT ALCOHOL” This 32-page book was produced by COMMECIAL COMICS in 1961 as an educational giveaway for the Alcoholism and Drug Addiction Research Foundation of Ontario, Canada. This SKILLFULLY DONE BOOK was way ahead of its time and served as a real educational piece on alcohol. Script by MALCOLM ATER, SR. We first learn about the customs of drinking alcohol, such as having a glass of wine in Elizabethan times to seal an agreement, or at weddings, or as a show of hospitality. But we also learn that in ancient Babylon, Kind Hammurabi devoted several sections of codified law to the ABUSE OF ALCOHOL, while Chinese laws forbidding the making of wine were enacted and repealed 41 times going back to 1100 BC, similar to the enactment and repeal of PROHIBITION in the U.S. We see how beer, wine, and spirits are made; how wine is customarily drunk at dinner time in Italy and drunkenness is frowned upon, while in France wine is drunk throughout the day with widespread alcoholism. We see how much alcohol is contained in a typical bottle of beer, glass of wine, or shot of booze, and how we are affected by more and more drinks. A chart shows us how long the alcohol stays in our bodies, and how long drivers should wait before driving a car. We learn of alcohol’s effect on different parts of our bodies, how long intoxication and hangovers last, how it can affect athletes and young people, and how abuse can lead to traffic accidents. And we see first-hand the causes of alcoholism and the steps leading to alcoholism, from SOCIAL DRINKING to HEAVIER drinking, to BLACKOUTS, to LOSS OF CONTROL, to LONE DRINKING, to ACUTE HANGOVERS, and finally, to BENDERS. Not a pretty sequence of events. However, we do learn about sources for help, the 12-STEPS of ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, and the ABC’s for helping an alcoholic. This is a REALLY INFORMATIVE GUIDE and points out the good and bad sides to drinking. It DOESN’T PREACH, but it DOES TEACH. Again, this book was way ahead of it’s time! This 5” x 7”, 32-page book]

"Leven wonder angst," Freedom from fear
Creator
Kennedy, Amos Paul, Jr.
Summary
Kennedy’s signature style is shown here in these poster-sized editions of quotes that are printed using vintage letterpress wood type and flatbed cylinder presses. He layers texts in colorful sequences. This creates word patterns that become the backgrounds for prominent phrases which are emphasized in the boldest final impressions. The "Freedom" series, printed in bilingually in Dutch and English, are banners for basic universal human rights.

Title
"Think First of Your Unborn Child!" Rex Morgan M.D.
Description
"REX MORGAN, MD, TALKS ... ABOUT YOUR UNBORN CHILD" This was produced in 1969 for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The copy, script and artwork was supervised by Dr. Nick Dallis, creator of the popular comic strip, Rex Morgan, M.D. This book was printed only in English. Another very similar comic, with the same basic story line, but with different artwork that featured Native American Indians, "THINK FIRST OF YOUR UNBORN CHILD!' REX MORGAN, MD was also printed in both English and Spanish, and was used primarily to target Native Americans and women living in the Southwestern United States. The books tells the reader about the possible lasting and severe consequences of FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME on the unborn baby for women who drink alcohol during their pregnancies. Lack of education about the very real possible effects of drinking alcohol during pregnancies was the primary reason for this book, and it doesn't pull any punches, either. The important message in this book is one simple fact: WHEN YOU SMOKE, DRINK ALCOHOL, OR USE DRUGS DURING PREGANCY, IT IS JUST LIKE GIVING IT TO YOUR UNBORN CHILD AT THE SAME TIME! Scary Thought. And the damage to an unborn baby can be both PHYSICAL AND MENTAL! But the major problem with FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME is that the damage to an unborn baby can be PERMANENT, lasting long after the baby is born. Terrible things such as the third most common cause of MENTAL RETARDATION is from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and yet ifs he only known cause of mental retardation that CAN BE PREVENTED, so why on Earth would a woman drink alcohol if she already knows this? But consuming alcohol during pregnancy can cause other problems, such as below normal intelligence, and slower than normal learning abilities, which are PERMANENT. And babies with fetal alcohol syndrome ae smaller and often require special care, along with facial features that are not normal-babies often look more like each other (such as with Down Syndrome) than members of their own families! Heart, bone, and genital defects are common, also. This is probably the MOST INFORMATIVE book ever written on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. If you know someone who is pregnant, get her this book to read! And be sure to tell her that ALL women who know they are pregnant should go to a MATERNITY CLINIC or see their own personal doctor as soon as possible for the excellent advice she can be given on dealing with her pregnancy. And above all, for a SAFE AND HEALTHY BABY. remember that THE \\iOMB THAT YOUR BABY GROWS IN FOR NINE MONTHS BEFORE BIRTH CAN BE MORE IMPORT ANT THAN ANY OTHER HOME Y UR HILD WILL LIVE IN DURING ITS LIFETIME! Get this book. Read it. For the health of your child!
