Ooh, I totally have one! Mine is Communism: Threat to Freedom (1962), which I totally picked up based on the title and cover in the hopes it would be a sensationalistic diatribe worthy of some laughs.



Can't you see why? This is an 80-page booklet published by the National Catholic Welfare Conference's Department of Social Action*. You can read the whole thing on archive.org, where they say, "Despite its title, actually a very well rounded and sober discussion of communism, domestic extremism, McCarthyism and civil rights." Yep. It's kind of interesting as a Cold War artifact and it has a lot of reasonable points for its time.

*This makes a lot more sense when you know where I found it- in the withdrawn books cart of my Catholic high school's library. It doesn't explain why I've held onto it for around 5-6 years. But I found a lot of other really great books on that withdrawn books cart- a few good novels, a little-known William Inge play, and a copy of the play Amadeus with a busted spine (that the librarian specifically told me was there because she knew I love plays <3).

ahahahahaha that's great, ginainthekingsroad!

I have found more than a few library cast-offs that have made their way into my "collection" as I make my way through it. Yours wins the thread, so far!
