This 1975 ad confuses me. Nevermind the fact that CNR is dressed as a minuteman, if you read the small print at the bottom you'll see that Charles Nelson Reilly has evidently written a book on his stays at Rodeway Inns! WTF?
"Get My Latest Book! Free! Here's the inside story of Rodeway Inns as revealed for the first time by me! It will be a big help to you when you're planning to rediscover America. So mail this coupon right now! You'll get it free!"
This must be quite a book - almost every sentence is an exclamation! I would love to read CNR's travel tales, but alas cannot find evidence of this book anywhere. I'm sure it never won a Pulitzer and is just basically an advertisement in book form, but you know it would be a fun read anyway. Let me know if you've ever heard of this book.
