Annotations: A curious manual promising, though failing to deliver, the skills needed to open your own home bookbinding business; the text promises an income of $30,00 per year without discussing the rate of work or the price per unit needed to achieve this. The naivety of the production suggests that this was honestly self-published and sold by mail-order. Contains many period advertisements reproduced from Gane Brothers, Hickok, and Kwikprintcatalogues; also contains advertisements for the P[eeler] B[ookbinding] C[ompany]'s own pre-made materials kits and book and bible cases.
