The Instant Button Book

White button affixed on sticker book. The stickers can be pulled off and placed on the white button. The button can be removed from the cover of the book and worn. Book dimensions are 3 1/2 inch x 10 inch.

David Martin and Denis Larkin published The Instant Button Book in 1967. Attached to the book cover is a blank white unlocking pinback button. Inside, the book has several pages of paper button faces for people to create their own buttons for any situation. The button faces are printed on a pressure-sensitive paper and, when removed from the waxy backing paper, can stick to the blank pinback button. The Instant Button Book is described as an “occasionally funny, often politically incorrect novelty book” due to its jokes surrounding the political climate of the 1960s. There are a few first and second editions for sale on retail sites. However, several are missing the attached blank white button. Most listings claim that the book does contain all the paper button face stickers. The Instant Button Book is a rare find that is listed for resale anywhere from $20 to $135.
