DAK Industries Incorporated mail-order electronics catalog, circa Spring 1986 (no printed date visible; matches the "Spring 86" DAK front-cover format). 31+ pages of Drew Alan Kaplan's signature first-person advertising copy covering:
"Unfair Competition" — the $999 Visual 256K IBM PC-compatible computer/typewriter bundle
"Sub-Sonic Synthesizer" (ADC bass enhancer) and "Name Dropper Stopper" auto-dialer
"SpeakerPhone Intercom" and "$4 Energizers for Commodore 64 & 128" software
"Computer Info Grabber" — an early feature on modems, BBSs, and online services like CompuServe
"Daddy's Pride and Joy" Konica color video camera/Emerson video system, featured on the back cover
A rich, information-dense snapshot of mid-1980s consumer electronics and the dawn of home computing/telecom, all told in Kaplan's famously chatty storytelling style. Shows typical age wear; see photos for condition.
