So clearly has every detail of this book been thought out that it will repay study to the last feature. The table of contents, in two columns, has a little symbolic drawing to identify each chapter subject. The chapter headings, reversing the usual style, have their titles in upper and lower case (large, however) and their subtitles in smaller capitals. The text is arranged in two columns, with illustrations spotted carefully in them to balance across every two-page spread. Calligraphy rather than type is used in the illustrations. The whole book has a vigorous, breezy, characterful air about it. Although included in the “sponsored” group, this book is not subsidized.
