This is a very good softcover copy with only light wear to the covers. Pale tan, stiff card covers with a black & silver title label tipped onto the front cover. Very clean inside and out. This is an illustrated essay by Elsie de Wolfe on the 'correct' use of table silver. Suggestions on how to 'start off a bride' and how to eventually acquire enough table silver so that at 'each stage of a bride's career' she may entertain in a perfectly correct manner. Precise rules for exactly which pieces and how many of them are required and of course, how to 'perfectly' deploy them during the evening. Illustrated in black & white with a frontispiece portrait of Elsie de Wolfe and many photographs of suggested table settings. 8 separate black & white photographic plates are contained in a folder on the inside back cover. Each plate shows a different style or pattern and all the necessary pieces and optional accessories and a description of Lady Mendl's opinion of the ware. 12" high X 9.5" wide, about 40 pages + plates. This book will be securely packed and shipped with tracking. …
