About this Item
Paper wrappers. Each of these were hand-produced in Hubbard's The Roycroft Shops, East Aurora, New York. The paper was handmade and the sheets sown to the covers. The design was from the Arts and Craft movement. Advertisement are at each of the end papers. Insert portrait etchings of each business man is also in each volume. The paper for the advertisement is more brittle than that of the text, which is better quality. Therefore, ads and covers were fixed with transparent mending tissue to help strengthen them. In some places, the text pages were mended also with the tissue. Acid free clear book tape was used on a couple of volumes.
