Promotional paper sample book with complete samples and information on the various Mohawk lines of texts, covers, vellums, opaque, offset, and bond papers. Published by Mohawk Paper Mills of Cohoes, New York, in January, 1963.

Each section with upwards of eighteen paper samples, mostly in shades of white, but also showcasing bold and pastel color palettes. In remarkably good original condition, with only some minor rubbing and bumping to the slipcase, and some minor rubbing to the comb. From the estate of Vaha (Vic) Kirishjian, a mid-century CBS Television Network in-house Mad Man, with his name in ink on the title page.
