Davis' Blue Book of Brookline, Wellesley and Weston

About this issue

This is Davis' Blue Book of Brookline, Wellesley and Weston, Massachusetts (1941), a city directory and business guide rather than a pulp magazine. The volume contains alphabetical resident lists, street directories, and a shoppers' guide for three Massachusetts towns. Pages include extensive commercial advertisements from local businesses—florists, funeral homes, banks, furniture dealers, apartment buildings, insurance firms, and specialty retailers. The back matter comprises street directory entries for Brookline and Chestnut Hill neighborhoods, organizing addresses numerically by street name. No narrative fiction or literary content is present; the publication functions as a reference work combining residential information with local commercial promotion.
