- Softcover Christmas and Idea Books, USA, Dennison, 1915, 9” h x 4.5” w, 9” h x 3.25” w, 16 and 12 numbered pages, respectively. Each have coordinating wrap-around cover art. Dennison’s Christmas Book and Christmas Idea Book were designed principally for customers of retail stationers, but were also distributed to dealers who would find pages of valuable suggestions. The books include a vast array of stock goods elaborately illustrated in color and copiously annotated instructions on how to use Dennison products. Sections of the books were devoted on attractive ways to dress Christmas packages, unique ways of presenting gifts, Dennison’s decorations for the home and after-dinner games, etc. The detailed wrap-around cover art is extraordinary and compliment one another beautifully.
