Funny story about those ads you used to see in the back of dime-store novels and comic books...
When I was a kid I used a few ads for sea-monkeys that were selling them for I think $0.10. I
actually received some sea monkeys.
I think that some of the ads to buy more books were honored as well as I seem to remember
having 20 or 30 pulp sci-fi novels from sending in 20 year old ads as well. I really wish I had
kept them now but I think they all wound up at a 2nd hand bookstore during one of my moves
(the books not the sea monkeys
