Extraordinary Book Titles: Say This One Three Times Fast

JF Ptak Science Books  Quick Post   Part of the Unusual Book Titles series

“When two “perfects” aren’t enough, try three.”–Not Ambrose Bierce

This is a great and overstated overstatement of a title that is, well, overstated. Twice. I don’t have anything else to say about the thing, except that it was issued by Pet Milk in 1935, and that it was the copyright copy from the Library of Congress pamphlet collection (something I purchased a while ago) and that for reasons obvious and imagined it probably did not get much circulation in the real world, even as a give-away advertising promotional. And for the record Pet Milk used an electrically-generated method to ionize its milk, and not the usually-feared radioactive method.
