This book is copyright 1925. Here is an excerpt from the back of the dustjacket:

"Brother, Sister, do not pass up this book! It holds a message for you, whether you are a hardened city dweller or an agile commuter. Buy it! Read it! Laugh and th-th-r-r-r-ill!

"From this little book, too, one learns such things as good form for petting parties, what fun you can have with a trick cigar, just how useful a razor is, how to ease yourself gracefully out of a room, how to marry money. The method of character drawing is one heretofore unknown in the history of literature, while the vocabulary will strike mingled joy and terror to the heart of the most experienced Cross-word Puzzle Hound."

There's a reason I had never heard of this book before I came across it in a flea market: it is truly awful. Brother, Sister, definitely pass up this book.… (altro)
