<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 419073, member: 5833&quot;]This bit of Hatton&#039;s book, Cigarette Papers for After-Dinner Smoking, is in praise of the enjoyment of the Cope&#039;s booklets/brochures.&nbsp; He rhapsodizes about their covers and he goes back &amp; forth between describing the fine points of his &#039;publisher&#039;s presentation of these...notes...with its design of fluttering papers...&#039; and the ways the Cope&#039;s publications are superior.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]146248[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is a bit confusing, but with 306 pages, Hatton&#039;s book was surely in hard covers.&nbsp; What fluttering papers could it have had other than the upscale feature of illustrations worthy of protective tissue over them, something the promotional Cope&#039;s booklets would not have had beyond the frontispiece?&nbsp; I read it as the &#039;design of fluttering papers&#039; belonging to the &#039;publisher&#039;s presentation&#039;, and the &#039;presentation&#039; as referring to the entire way the book was made, not to the cover only.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
