Summary
From preface: "My business is hiring out women ot model dresses, pose for artists, and make with the torso at expensive dinner-parties...I keep two card-indexes of the girls who work for me...for such vital employment information as the young lady's name, address, telephone and social security number, her measurments and the modelling she is best suited for. On a much larger card I keep a record of those of my models with whom I have acheived intimacy...It is of the information of these larger cards that this book was composed."
