Printed entirely on heavy, glossy paper.
Separating slightly at a few signatures, bump to bottom of spine, and previous owner touched up the color on on the tips and lower spine edge. Still a nice, bright copy without previous owner's marks, with bright pictorial embossed gilt on the spine and cover. One of Robinson's most wonderfully decorative covers. In a reconstituted pictorial dust wrapper illustrated front and rear with the same artwork, printed in black.
Scarce in jacketâthis one is split at the spine and is missing the lower half of the spine and a 1/2 inch at the top. Except for a 1/2" chip to the top rear corner, and a bit more loss along the edge, both covers and flaps are complete.

Holyoke, Massachusetts: Whiting Paper Company, 1909. Water staining. Minor toning, dust soiling. A couple short tears to wrappers. Minor rust stains from staples.. A brief guide to letter writing etiquette and "the correct usage of fine stationary", advertising products sold by the Whiting Paper Company. It wastes no time establishing tone, and instruct the reader right away that "Papers of brilliant colors are not in good form.

It goes on to describe which colors, paper sizes, and qualities are preferable for different uses, in great detail; conventions for everything from visiting cards to monograms, regrets, and mourning cards. Of particular interest is a section instructing the reader how to address the President, the Governor, a Generals, or a Bishop (pp. 14-16), each with its own requirements and conventions. Includes exemplars of well-wrought invitations, replies, etc.…
