In this article, the author describes several examples of printed documents from the 19th to the early 20th century that were designed to provide useful information to people as part of their daily life. Featured documents include: a railway travelers' route description and strip map dating to around 1846 published in England by the printer James Holmes, the book "Reading without tears, Or a pleasant mode of learning to read" first published in 1866, and a trade card printed in the early 1820s by Clark's Hotel in York, England.
