Signed by Ron Spark "Why Knot"
KXCI supporter and retired (or should we say "re-tie-red") medical pathologist Ron Spark- and notorious tie collector signed and donated this book and article especially for the KXCI auction. Instead of getting dad another off the rack tie or two, why not indulge his inner sense of style and fashion with a book and article devoted to a bygone era of style and class.
From the LA Times:
Happily, fabulous photographs and illustrations outnumber text in this clever homage to neck art from a time when cars were wide and so were ties.
For example, on fish ties: "You can bait a few of your coworkers with these catchy ties." And, "Many a man felt that an exotic bird on the chest was better than two dog ties in the closet."
Take another cue from the chapters: "The Tie-Rless Collector," "Celebri-Ties and Tie-Coons," "Eternal Veri-Ties," "The American Tie-In," "Taking Liber-Ties," "Adver-Ties-Ing" and "Tie-Died: The Forties Go Underground."
Actually, many of these ties are funky enough to be modern-day creations, so take note. Remember the primary rule of fashion: What goes around, comes around.
