3.0 out of 5 stars
A brief pictorial guide to popular kitsch,
This review is from: Kitsch (20th Century Icons) (Paperback)
A small, pocket-sized guide to kitsch, presented by the king-of-kitsch himself, Wayne Hemmingway. While perhaps dissapointing in terms of actual content, and the quality of print in my copy was erratic, it provides an amusing insight to popular kitsch and should be considered and essential addition to any kitsch-lover's toilet-side library.
