From the pages of MAD: IF LIBRARIES SOLD ADVERTISING SPACE

Somebody in greater Facebookland finally posted this, and I'm sticking it here for reference. Sadly, it omits both the credits and some more "books", mostly on the right. But, as it happens, I also found my physical copy of this, so I will list the omissions here as I have them in The MAD Bathroom Companion; the Mother Load. Otherwise, click the image to enlarge.
