You may hate books, but it’s still possible to own some that won’t teach you a thing and serve a purpose other than hiding flasks; like in this case, where they serve as planters. However, you’ll want to have a green thumb for these otherwise they’re just going to end up as plant coffins.

The folks at Archie McPhee, one of the world’s favorite purveyors of novelty products, were kind enough to send me a copy of their book “Who Would Buy This?” The Archie McPhee Story—182 pages of the most bizarre crap that anyone ever had the nerve to sell. Not surprisingly, we have discussed many of these products right here on Nerd Approved, but the book presents them in luscious detail—including big color photos and commentary about product origins and stories about both their successes and miserable failures.
If you loved Voltron as a kid, these Lion Force bookends would make a great addition to your library—no matter what perverse things you decide to stick between them.
