“This would make a charming and welcome gift for children who are
just old enough to learn about and be interested in forging and other
autograph features.” _Sunday School Times._
“In simple and yet glowing words the author introduces us to
‘Autographs and Antimacassars,’ and the glamour of the pictures is
sustained as we read about them.” _Peanut Growers’ Monthly._
“A mine of information for the antimacassar enthusiast.”
_Rome (Italy) Avanti._

_Some Press Opinions_
“This handsome book, with its innumerable illustrations, will be of
the greatest interest to the progressive college man with an eye for
interior decoration. We congratulate the authoress on the pleasing and
learned way in which she discourses on the technicalities of removing
signs from their fastenings. She has evidently studied minutely the
methods of our leading second-story workers.” _Sing-Sing Occupant._
“A very taking book.” _Manchester Guardian._
“A valuable and handsome souvenir for those bound Up the River.”
_New York Call._
