Description

Joe and Bob Switzer were brothers with different aspirations; Bob wanted to be a doctor while Joe was interested in show business and magic. An accident that left Bob recuperating in a basement led the brothers to experiment with ultraviolet light and fluorescent paints, which resulted in the invention of Day-Glo colors, a new type of color that glows intensely. The book is printed in Day-Glo colors, including Saturn Yellow, Fire Orange, and Signal Green, though the cover reproduction does not use Day-Glo colors.
