I am posting this because I think T will dig it...  I recently picked up a French Revolution poster book:

I've been collecting protest posters for years... Here are a few of my favorites:

Interesting, I have a few of those posters, the Cohn-Bendit in red, the rat one and Stop Policing the World in exactly the same perforated computer paper.

i've got that Mai 68 book (in MUCH better condition!)
think it says DON'T sell these posters as that will make you a capitalist and DON'T use them as art. because of that i've always quietly shaken my head when i've seen Mai 68 posters for sale ;D

One cool thing is that when I opened this book it looked like some student organization was using the book to make a poster. There was a few photo copies and a mock up of the final poster with the little bit (shown in the fold of the Cohn Bendit poster) cut off "International Socialist Organization"...

I was just excited to find this - condition isn't great and there are a few posters missing. But the nice ones range from $300 to $900!

The perforated ones are Berkley posters printed on used computer paper...
