SUMMARY- What can I say, he makes me smile. He comes from a different era, with different sensibilities, from a part of the country that rural types from the same time period considered "slick." He gave a page of quotes from different people/magazine and news services, and one of them was "Some people like to have fun with singles. Bill Caruba has more fun than anybody." -Playboy Magazine. From his introduction, you get the feeling he was most proud of his Money Bunny fold, and casts some confusion as to whether the Playboy logo came before or after his model(the logo was designed by Arthur R. Kelly in 1927). The Initial Ring depends on where the bill was manufactured, and he worked out that he could fold the first 12 letters of the alphabet to show where most bartenders he knew would feature the "ONE", and was quite proud of it.
He dedicates the book to the same girl friend he dedicated his first book to, and this time he gives us a handsome black-and-white photo of himself. I'm so glad he did.
Interesting side note: Mr. Caruba published his Money Bunny as "Buck Bunny" in Playboy",s Dec. 1979 issue. So Playboy was certainly aware of Mr. Caruba's fold and endorsed it!
