The Book of Fate is a 1923 New York reprint by H.S. Nichols of an oracle book, credited to H. Kirchenhoffer and linked to Napoleon's former possession, aimed at readers seeking fortune-telling. Its single page is a dense column of printed maxims in a ruled border beneath a small central medallion, giving a designer a compact model for text-based layouts with an ornate framed header.
