The Scrap Book Sampler by editor Frank Munsey is a diverse collection of articles, stories, and artwork from various sources. The range of topics covered in this anthology is impressive, from humor and philosophy to science and history. Some of the pieces are thought-provoking and profound, while others are simply entertaining.

One of the strengths of this book is its ability to appeal to a wide audience. Whether you're interested in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or visual art, there's something for everyone in this sampler. The editor has done a commendable job of curating a selection of pieces that showcase the diversity of talent and creativity in the literary and artistic world.

While there were a few pieces that didn't resonate with me personally, overall, I found The Scrap Book Sampler to be an engaging and enjoyable read. It's the perfect book to pick up when you have a few minutes to spare and want to be entertained or inspired. I would recommend this anthology to anyone looking for a sampling of different styles and voices in literature and art.

Book Description:
18 works -- two non-fic articles & one short fiction or poetry each -- from issues March, April, May, June, July, & August 1906 of The Scrap Book, Volume 1, edited by Frank Munsey. As he states in the editorial of the April 1906 issue (Vol 1, Iss 2) this was a sort of supplement to the editor's popular monthly, Munsey's Magazine. The Scrap Book is very like an American version of Punch with many short, often humorous articles interspersed with at least one short story, some poetry, and several longer non-fic pieces. The Scrap Book ran up to 1922.
