内容简介
Christmas lovers have a new reason to rejoice! Building on the exhaustive U.S. Patent Office research that spawned the cult classics Patently Ridiculous and Patently Erotic, Richard Ross presents a collection of yuletide patent applications—some puzzling, some insane, all hilarious.
Like its predecessors, Patently Christmas provides a fascinating glimpse into what happens when creativity, capitalism (and perhaps a small dose of delusion) collide. Extensively illustrated with the inventors’ own diagrams, Patently Christmas is the perfect stocking stuffer, filled with new and wacky takes on time-honored Christmas traditions.
