I wish I had a blacklight to fully appreciate the groovy day-glo ink on the pages of Ultraviolet: 69 Classic Blacklight Posters from the Aquarian Age and Beyond, by Daniel Donohue.

Going through this book was like mainlining the 1970s. It brought back memories of my friend and I sneaking into my friend's big brother's bedroom, turning on the blacklight, and tripping out to some of these truly bizarre posters loaded with drug references (and which our local Kmart sold for $1 each), our sensory high no doubt enhanced by the fear that the big brother would catch us in his room and beat us up.
