Summary from the endpapers of the book

Can Russia co-exist with
ELOISE?
Before impulsively shouting
"Definetly Da!"
or "Avsolutely Nyet!"
the reader is urged
to study
this full report
on the activities of
Eloise
in Moscow
(she was there . . . first).

This book is the first
to give the facts
about Russian Pear Lemonade.
It takes you underground
through 10 mammoth mosaic, marble
Moscow subway stations.
And inside the Kremlin
(Oh my Lord it is absolutely
in full color).
It is a rawther
top-secret document.
Reliable sources presict
that if you take it home with you
you will always
be glad you did.

   

From the back cover of the book
 

Dossier on Eloise

It was inevitable that Eloise -- endowed at birth with all the talents of Diplomacy, groomed for greatness at the Plaza, polished in Paris -- should at last be dispached to Moscow. These are exerpts from some of the documents in her dossier that were carefully weighed before she was entrusted with the most important mission of her career:

"She is a magnificent moppet." -- Time

"Frankly, I adore Eloise." -- Noel Coward

"Like increasing thousands, I am devoted to Eloise." -- and J. P. Marquand

"Eloise is the end. If you miss her, you're missing the Miss of the Year." -- Cleveland Amory

"Anyone who fears that the whole human race has been turned out on the same assembly line had better make the acquaintance of Eloise. She is the raw material of genius." -- New York Herald Tribune Book Review

Readers wishing complete information on Eloise's background and accomplishments are directed to two volumes that have, in the brief years since their publication, become modern classics: Eloise and Eloise in Paris. Their sales to date: over a quarter a million copies.
