About This Item
No dust jacket. Some wear at the edges and corners. Pages are all clean, tight and intact, with one exception. I noted a lump on one page and when I opened the book to that page, a paperclip fell out, one that had been marking the page for decades, I assume. When it fell out it took the part of the page outlined by the clip, as shown in photos #3 and #4. No other page damage has been found. Secretaries in the 1950s were expected to do a lot more than type and take dictation. They were also expected to be exclusively female, while the bosses were all male. One thing secretaries of the 1950s were expected to be able to do is make travel arrangements, so photo #5 shows a page that teaches the potential secretary how to read a train timetable. Photo #6 shows a page that teaches how to help the boss with gift shopping for Christmas and other occasions. Of the few copies of this book that I have found on the market, none date back to 1952 (as this one does), with publication dates from 1958 to 1977.
