A propos de cet article

8 vo; Sample Subscription book; one of the strangest books I have ever attempted to catalog. It appears to be a salesman's sample book of two different titles, Household Discoveries and Mrs. Curtis's Cook Book. The boards are textured black leatherette with no title or spine lettering. Inside the front board is a second board which is textured green with triangular pieces of black at the outside corners; there is also a folded in sample of the spine of the "real book."

"I have examined this book and find it to be first class in every particular. I do not think anyone would made a mistate in giving a subscription to Mr. Hacker, for the same" signed by O.B. Lee, Pastor, Presbyterian Church. Unique, I have never seen another book like it. a few small holes on frontispiece; moderate rubbing to spine ends & corners; all else-clean, tight, and attractive.…
