PB HANDBOOK ________________________ p> THE BOOK THAT STARTED IT ALL! br> When Henry Nurse III put pen to paper in 1878, he could never have foreseen the tremendous impact his words would have: lives and marriages have been saved, illustrious careers carefully forged, and romances borne, by virtue of the wisdom contained in this mighty tome. Over a dozen editions of The Prudent Boozer's Handbook remain in the museum's collection, among them copies in Japanese, Dutch, Bengali and Tagalog.
