This vintage book was first published in 1955. It is bound to be spineless so that book opens and stays flat no matter what page you are looking at. Comes in original cardboard dust jacket. Includes 24 beautifully illustrated arrangements which could be framed if you were heartless enough to do so. I thought I was that person, but alas, I am not.
