Patently Christmas - Inflatable Snowmen, Singing Elves, Collapsible Trees, and Other Patented flashes of Holiday Genius

Building on the extensive US Patent Office research that spawned Patently Ridiculous and Patently Erotic, Richard Ross now presents a special Yuletide collection of hilarious patent applications. Patently Christmas provides a fascinating glimpse into what happens when creativity, capitalism and delusion collide. Extensively illustrated with the inventors' own diagrams, this is the perfect stocking filler.
