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

I have my doubts that these two pamphlets have ever been placed side-by-side like this before this morning.  They are both, well, “reaching” in their respective pursuits, perhaps one more than the other.  The first, on the Roosevelt “mystery”, was published in 1947, and really had nothing to do with a conspiracy surrounding the president’s death–it was more a polemic against Roosevelt’s social policies, an anti-Communist and -Socialist screed  of some sort, a sort of awful thing. The cover though is full of weird questioning demands, which would make it either (a) hard to not pick up or (b) impossible to pick up–it is a close call.

Now the second pamphlet is even more of a mystery, a mysterious secret mystery of questionable and excited mystery logic.  Published in 1943, it starts “In the beginning God made man from the mineral eggs in the rocks…God left man the job to make the devil, and Hitler’s co-workers took over the job.” I have no problem with the anti-Hitler-casket’s-waiting stuff, though it is wrapped up in swaddling-spaghetti-created-speak that is hard to unravel–again, that isn’t that big a problem, except that all I started to find was cold and wet spaghetti when statements were unraveled.  So I include these two items in the “Book Titles, Strange and Unusual” category and wait for the day that the many hundreds of these that I have here can be all displayed in a single room for their greater questionable glories.
