As you may have noticed, like most Life Magazine photo journalists I often used my family as models. Starting with their mom, they were all beautiful. One of my good clients was the national Blue Cross association. I did perhaps a dozen health booklets and several ads for them. For one of my illustrations of ambulance care- I used Florence who cheerfully, if uncomfortably, registered pain in a seemingly speeding ambulance (moving several feet in my driveway!)

Dressed for fencing or t’ai-chi, Florence kept her great figure long past this candid of her in her fifties. She once offered me $700 for all the books you see, mostly review copies. When I asked her why so little she replied. Because they are all dog-eared and marked up. “They show too much wear for resale- you read your books- a real downer for a dealer.â€

Florence poses filling a rare book order for a foreign customer in her shop. My favorite Florence story involving foreign sales: Florence had bought a fine Gold Coast collection of unusual and expensive books. On the same day she sold separate books on falconry to an Arab prince and a Japanese dealer with a Samurai customer.
