The clothes and the illustrations, like the two below, have an Esquire-in-its-heyday quality. I love the black and white, but would have been cool to see these in color as well.

I agree!
In one way, it's surprising to see an illustrator of this evident talent confined to producing an apparently inexpensive to produce grey tone brochure/pamphlet. The stock upon which it's printed looks flimsy, and likely wouldn't have supported color printing, which of itself would have added significantly to its cost, though I have little doubt the illustrator would have welcomed the opportunity to add it.
In deference to your fondness for the mode, in the next series we will move ahead a bit, a few decades, to the Son-of-Golden-Age for a brief visit.
