"The first professionally drawn archer by Dwiggins appears as the imprint of The Littlebook Press at the end of Woman: Why Man Cannot Live without Her—Or with Her (Boston: The Littlebook Press, 1914). The book’s text, ostensibly 'from the Sanskrit,”-' was probably written by Brad Stephens (1878–1964), creator of The Littlebook Press, an imprint that apparently existed solely to publish his holiday projects. Stephens is credited with having done the typesetting for the book and the printing was carried out by The Heintzemann Press. Along with the imprint Dwiggins designed the cover, title page, some calligraphy, and an illustrated initial letter for Woman. TSTL means 'The Sky is the Limit'" (Paul Shaw Letter Design).
