Small (128 pages, 9.6 ounces) hardcover with dustjacket received in the mail from Shawnee Mission, Kansas, USA, through TitleTrader. A previous reader wrote on the overleaf, "How many of these do you remember? Betty 2003." I can't wait to read the journal entries on this one!

From Publishers Weekly
In the grand tradition of The Mullet, Bloomsbury USA's previous foray into the world of unfortunate coiffures, Innes-Smith and Webb celebrate poor hair choices, from shaggy Fab Four 'dos to feathered sides, and from asymmetrical bobs to intricately structured curls and waves. Missing are the comb-overs, the skullets (the bald-on-top, long-in-back look) and the synthetic rugs that also warrant the insult of the book's title, but since the photos are culled from hairdressers' windows, such an absence is understandable: these were styles people felt proud of! The pictures, which were taken over the last 30 years, are unfortunately not dated; still, one might venture to propose that the 70s were particularly unflattering for men, and that the 80s were a rough decade for women. This volume is briefly diverting, and even quite funny, but, as the jacket copy admits, there isn't much to be said about a group of pictures all designed to elicit a single response: "Wow, that's bad hair."

Journal Entry 3 by suzsus from West Haven, Connecticut USA on Tuesday, June 13, 2006
I found this book on a bench inside the art building at Yale, outside of the Green Gallery. I had to go there as part of my job to hang some artwork for a high school art show. I was in an annoyed mood until I found this book, especially after I read the inside cover and realized that someone actually wanted me to take it! It made my day. There is some really, really bad hair in the book! I will probably take it with me when I move out to Colorado at the end of the summer. Maybe I will leave it somewhere exciting along the way, like a rest stop in South Dakota. I hope the next person is as amused as I was to find it.
