Survival Under Atomic Attack - Little Blue Book No. 1888 - Haldeman-Julius Pub. - c1952
Various Little Blue Books, published by Haldeman-Julius in Kansas from 1919 onward - one of the most sustained, diverse, committed and unfailingly interesting publishing projects in American history. Most of the titles were truly pocket sized as well, and could actually be put in a shirt pocket.

"Would you tax God?" asks a defender of church tax exemption. Well, if there were a God he should be able to pay his own way and support his own business. If not, then he should do like other business men and close up shop.
