Brian S. Alexander's Atomic Kitchen (1888054980, $19.95) isn't a collector's book per say: it's a showcase of the gadgets, cooking devices and kitchen utensils which appeared and often vanished during the 1950s, displaying original ads, packaging, and materials with a profile of 1950s housewife items. A fun, colorful survey of the housewife's heyday is packed with vintage ads and color illustrations for eye-catching memories. Jane Briggeman's Burlesque (1888054948, $39.95) comes from an author who spent years collecting stories and interviews from some of the greatest names in burlesque. Vintage ads, illustrations, and contemporary color photos pack a memorable celebration of burlesque's most notable moments. Vintage Prints (1888054972, $19.95) presents a poster art book for collectors who want affordable full-color lithographs printed on poster paper for a 11x14 frame. Ideal for a child's room or a children's bookseller, Vintage Prints profiles childhood art in a different manner.
