Blue Book of Brookline
· 1922

This is not a pulp magazine—it is the Brookline Blue Book (1922), a residential and business directory for Brookline, Massachusetts. The contents consist of local street listings organized alphabetically and geographically, fire alarm box locations, business advertisements for regional services (real estate, coal, furniture moving, garages, rugs, memorials), town officers' information, church listings, and club societies. The publication includes practical reference information such as wedding anniversary naming conventions and telephone numbers for municipal services. No narratives, stories, or serial fiction appear in these pages.
