Remember Your Rubbers!: Collectible Condom Containers

by G.K. Elliott, George Goehring, Dennis O'Brien

This book is indeed a "first." A few rubber tins have made cameo appearances in past publications but this is the premier book exclusively about rubber containers-most of which have never been pictured before. Try this on your coffee table and you'll have a fun conversation piece-a trifle naughty but respectable! You and your friends can share hours of enjoyment getting to know about one of the hottest collectibles ever to hit the antique advertising scene! Buying Remember Your Rubbers! can save you money, perhaps many times the price of the book. You'll learn which brands are rare and which are not. You'll know enough not to spend a fortune on a "Deans Peacocks" (the "Prince Albert of rubber tins") as well as not to pass on a one-of-a-kind like the "Rainbow," both incidentally from the same company!

Okay, collecting birth control devices is not everyone's cup of tea. However, if you are interested, this book is an excellent compendium of condom memorabilia. I was very disappointed to learn that the authors live near me, but at least now I know why I can never find anything good around here! :)

Mainly photographs, with a couple of short chapters of introductory text (which are good) and captions of varying detail, capturing much of the diversity of condom packaging and marketing.
