SHELDON, Edith & Dayton [121] pp. Knight Publishers 1938 7 1/2" x 5 1/4" Decorations by Steinberg The Italian writer Natalia Ginzburg said, "No adultery is bloodless." The authors of this book seek to change that. They go where Emily Post dared not tread, delineating rules for proposing and carrying out extramarital affairs.
