[QUOTE="Roaring20s, post: 4507599, member: 17270"]My thoughts were that it was an event oriented book, and he had many events! I also speculated that the shorter white paper was an invitation saved with this memento. I'm still not going to give its subject away yet. I will share a peek into its pages. FYI, I contacted the paper collections archivist at the Thomas Edison National Historical Park and received a speedy reply. He was only able to say that catalog records do not show this specific book in their collection. :( I think I will need to see if it appears in any of his industrialist friends collections. It's a needle in a haystack, but it's a pretty needle deserving of a look.
