content: Mallinson's American Indian series followed the "National Parks" and "Wonder Caves of America" designs, and illustrates the company's continuing interest in using American themes, and in utilizing the collections of New York area museums for research and inspiration. The company produced regular "Blue Books" as an advertising medium, but only the larger, more important series designs had Blue books devoted solely to them.
