Excerpt from page 1:

Dear Status-Seeker:This is a collection of letters that will improve your image instantly.

Follow the instructions carefully and you will have INSTANT STATUS.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) These letters are addressed to you.

2) Tear them out.

3) Type, in the proper place, your name and address.

4) Note: It would be best to use the same kind of typewriter we did-an IBM Selectric with interchangeable type. This typewriter costs over $500.00, which is perfectly alright for rich writers like us. (We rented ours. You might try calling IBM and asking for a 10-day Free Trial.)

On the page before each letter is an instruction sheet. Follow these instructions meticulously.
Status Seeking is an Exact Science.
This book is dedicated to our sensitive children Felicity, Algernon, Chauncey, and Llewellyn*
*Our children's real names are Nancy and Robert Sherman and Tommy and Tony Peyser but how would that look in a high-class book like this?
