Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. Things My Mother Should Have Told Me. The Best of Good Housekeeping. 1922-1940. Slightly sunned spine of D/J. This book may be a piece of history, reflecting a way of life long past and gone. But the advice and information contained in the following pages are as up-to-date and useful today as they were 60 years ago. The main purpose of this book is to present all those fascinating pages of household advice, and information taken from Good Housekeeping between 1922 and 1940. I though it would be interesting to track those years with advertisements which would reflect the social and domestic life of the times including Mother's own lifestyle in an out of the home. Illustrated and with adverts throughout. Illustrated laminated boards. 192 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).

Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Impression. Hardback. Slightly sunned spine to D/J. Coping with rationing, aair raids, loneliness and sometimes bereavement, many woman turned to Good Housekeeping for the sort of expert advice and light relief they had come to expect from this magazine, fast approaching its twentieth anniversay. This book reflects their joys and sorrows, their struggles and their victories, and above all the special spirity of unity, motivated by a common objective, which makes fascinating reading today. Escapist fiction provided light entertainment, while more serious messages were relayed through its pages by such prominent figures as Lloyd George and Hugh Dalton, then President of the Board of trade. From the home front - dispensing advice on papaer salvage, cooking with dried eggs, assembling a wartime hope chest and feeding five on £3.10s a week 0 to the front lines - how to write a letter to a loved one far away, choosing books for a prisoner of war, coping with the influx of GIs and learning how to live with a newly returned soldier - Good Housekeeping never surrendered its task of providing information and necessary relief for those facing a world were nothing would ever be the same again. Illustrated. 192 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).

Book
Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 2nd Impession. Hardback. This book presents a fascinating and intimate portrait of the Twenties and Thirties as reflected in the pages of Good Housekeeping magazine. From its first appearance in 1922 to the approach of war, the magazine featured writers such as Virginia Woolf and Beverley Nichol, Lady Violet Bonham Carter and Godfrey Winn, Eric Linklater and Ogden Nash ans was pre-eminent in catering for the women's magazine market. This book features the best of contemporary fiction, fashion and beauty news, as well as outspoken opinions and practical information from these two exciting, difficult and challenging decades. The articles and advertisements reflect the changing role of women both within the family and in society as a whole; the exhilaration - and frustration - they felt as they took up a more public profile; their response to the new demands made on them by the gradual disappearance of domestic servants and the assumption of a new role as cook, chief bottle-washer and jill-of-all-trades; and their humour when faced with the imponderable: man! Illustrated. 192 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
