Amazing. my first day on the job as an assistant art director, the WOMAN I worked for told me that the subscription cards and coupons were as important as the ads and main artwork. From that day on everything was worthy of design. It was a mantra I passed on to my students of design and typography. Design is in the detail (as well as the idea).

I actually like getting junk mail because it's physical and super specific. Plus it's fun to see how different companies try and convince me to buy something through the mail.

Ugh, I love all of these! I do often think about all the things we're missing as digital replaces print— restaurant checks, VHS / DVD covers, CD lyric booklets, perfume flaps in magazines! They still exist but they're not the same kind of daily touchpoint they once were.
