This canvassing book contains a price list, subscriber leaves, and the title and sample pages from one hundred and fifty titles--the publisher's "line." Two sample spines give purchasers an idea of the kinds of bindings to expect. Unlike individual canvassing books, which offered prospective buyers several binding choices, these samples allow purchasers no choices at all.
