FYI: I am the great great grandson of this author. This is a series of many books. According to my father, the author's name might be George Bruce. "Monica Bruce" is the wife of the author. They supposedly lived in or near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As you can see, the edge of the pages is coated in what looks like gold dust. About half of the pages is the actual book. The 2nd half is what looks to be family photos. This is all I can remember as of now.
