The Book is called Colliers Cyclopedia of Social and commercial information. It was published in 1882 by Peter Fenelon Collier, Publisher. It is one of my most favorite pieces I own. It's a fascinating look into the lives of people in the 1800's. It has rules for card games, and is filled with rules of etiquette for both gentlemen and ladies.
I scanned it because a regular picture wasn't picking up any of the worn out lettering on the leather.
