Mid-century science and faux sci-fi books

I enjoyed the visual kinship between two recent discoveries: a gallery of video games as vintage sci-fi paperbacks and a Flickr set of science and technology ads published in the '50s and '60s. The simple lines, blocks of color and clean fonts in both galleries indicate that the video game spoofs did pretty well at picking up on a "vintage" aesthetic. The video game paperbacks were curated by Kotaku from this Something Awful thread; the Flickr set popped up in my Google Reader via Design Observer.
