A Daily Express Publication, 1937, with 325 b&w photographed illustrations. Covers every aspect of interwar household management from family finance, sensible shopping, labour-saving devices, decoration, heating methods, laundrywork, sewing and care of clothes to care of the sick and getting rid of household pests and party-planning - in other words, a photographic social history of the dialy life of an average middle-class 1930s woman in Britain. Hard cover photographic front, grey back with faded green cloth spine, showing age in bumps and scratches but otherwise good condition. Inside paper tanned but clean and clear text; very slight foxing on endpapers and inside back cover. Includes tables of plans of work and index.
