A Bit of Retail History
Keep your eyes open and materials come your way to create a themed glue book – all for free. Because of my interest, I was offered the New York Times Sunday Styles section between the years 2022-2025. Then at the “Give & Take Corner” at my office complex , there were several books offered, one of which was a 1973 HR training manual. Knowing it was very outdated, I decided to recycle it with its plastic spine and the newspaper. I challenged myself to only use the newspaper advertisements and articles. Six months later the “one of a kind” glue book was finished.
