If you're a fan of the Road Runner and his nemisis, Wiley Coyote, then this is a must have. Every item, no matter how looney, that was featured in the cartoon is here. Complete pricing information for those intrepid mad scientists in your house.

Very clever and most enjoyable for anyone who loves Looney Tunes...but where are the Earthquake pills?

Anyone who has ever watched old Warner Brothers Cartoons is familiar with the mail order house of ACME. This is especially true of Road Runner Cartoons. Come along on a ride down memory lane!

Need a clever disguise? or perhaps a pocket-sized anvil? ACME has it, and now they're reaching a bigger audience, reality. Filled with wonderful illustrations and humor, this book is a must-have for anybody who is a cartoon fan....or just needs a catalog to put onto the coffee table.

Author Charles Carney has delivered a top-notch, giggle-producing tribute to some of the most glorious cartoon characters ever created. This is great fun, and something the whole family can enjoy.

For those of us that are categorized as "Boomers", there were two things we remember well from childhood...Catalog Shopping, and Looney Tunes. In those pre-internet days, catalogs in the mail were something to look forward to. From Montgomery Ward to the HUGE Sears Christmas catalog, we'd spend hours flipping through the pages and making our wish lists. With that background, what fan of Looney Tunes wouldn't want to have their very own copy of the famous ACME catalog, where Wile E. Coyote (Super Genius) ordered all those amazing devices like the Bat Man Suit, Rocket Sneakers, and so many more? I've long said that someone should produce an actual ACME catalog...and now, they have!

It's been a real laugh having this book. Great photos that bring back memories from the past. Well worth having.

If, like me, you grew up chuckling at old Warner Brothers cartoons, you'll get a kick out of this book. The illustration style is a bit weird - items are shown as 3D objects, rather than in the cartoon style you'd expect - but the book is entertaining. I'd recommend it to any fan of Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner!

Excellent products! They stand behind everyone of their products, in a ACME built bunker of course.

Wonderful artwork and funny descriptions, too bad you can't really order some of them. The book is a delight and sits out in my house for my guests to enjoy. Never fails to amuse. Five stars.

If you watched the Roadrunner and the Coyote cartoons as a kid ,or even as an adult, you will enjoy this book.
It is written as if it is the actual Acme catalog that Wile E.Coyote ordered from .
It has 94 pages of very nice illustrations done in early 50's ad style colours,complete with information like an actual catalog including cautionary warnings and shipping prices .From the Acme Boomerang to Instant Tunnel Paint you will enjoy seeing many of the funny gadgets from the cartoons .
