My father was the local newspaper editor all my years growing up. Hints from Heloise was a popular column in the paper, and he received this Heloise book as a promotional thank you gift.  The book is signed and includes a photograph of Heloise Cruse, the first Heloise.  Heloise II is her daughter. The book is a piece of history!

The book has been in my possession since we sold our family home. It comes from a smoke free enviroment.

The book was published in 1967 and shows expected wear for its age.  The hard cover book itself is in fairly good condition. The dust jacket, unfortunately, has some damage, especially along the spine. See photos.
