    The best part of that was the ad for Underwood's Ribbons.
    Very neat booklet. Thanks for sharing!

    WOW! This is amazing.

    Having said that, I love the language. The term 'Absurdity' being used in earnestness seems to be, well.... absurd in our modern context.

    Great find!

    Very cool! My earliest is from the 30's. I love the Santa Maria rendering and agree I always love the language.

    Very nice book. Scott picked up on absurdity and its over use like today with ongoing instead of continuing or continuous and absolutely being over used.

    I leave absolutely appreciating the book. It is really nice.

    I agree with Ken. I really liked the design for the Underwood ribbons as well!
