by Ralph Graczak $19.95, 96 pages, soft cover Reading "Our Own Oddities" in the Post-Dispatch was a Sunday morning ritual for many St. Louisans from 1940-1990. The odd coincidences, facts and funny bits submitted by our readers provided "Sunday morning over coffee" chuckles for many. This new book from the Post-Dispatch takes a look back at these weekly columns and salutes the creativity and humor of Ralph Graczak, the Post-Dispatch artist who brought these unusual happenings, oddly shaped vegetables, and uniquely “St. Louis” oddities to life for generations of St. Louisans. Also includes reader-submitted updates on past oddities, and even some new ones! |
