Plain thick brown card boards with and jacket attached to spine, the latter had a chip top front corner, a poor spine secured full length by tear repair tape, which works reasonably well, but s[ine ends chipped and much of right hand side missing, top back (which has an advert for Electrolux cleaner) has small chip to top, 'several other short nicks. Twelve of the respondents (see below) appear on front. Author list+140 pp.+ (4, full page ads); faint edge-tanning throughout. To p.78 this has general observations on health, diet, relaxation, domestic life etc. but the remainder consists of short (half page or less mostly) questionnaire responses by eminent men and women and centenarians regarding diet, alcohol, tobacco, work hours, sleep hours, recreations, sports and health, these also include their age which tells us that these all date from 1927-1929 (after sampling 6 of the best known). They included Augustus John, George Bernard Shaw, David Low (the cartoonist), Compton Mackenzie, Baden Powell and Oliver Lodge. Another listing mentions an inscription dated 1930 and this fits with ages given. These responses however seem to tell us as much about their attitude to Henslowe's exercise as themselves. Apart from a book on Borneo Folk-lore Henslowe's main passion appears to be motoring & cars followed by health. A curious book and quite rare, but jacket pulls it down. 12 cm x 18 cm.…

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Small 8vo., publisher's original cloth boards, printed in black and red with the cover image showing a woman driving an open touring car under an arbor of trees; lower board with ad for tyres; pp. [vii], 8-75, [iii]; + [xxi] pages of ads to rear showing photographs of various cars which are 'suitable for women to drive'; one colour plate to face p. 10 as called for, as well as numerous other tables, illustrations and diagrams in line throughout; a very good, clean copy, boards a little rubbed and some darkening/pushing to spine; some light internal toning and spotting mostly affecting the outer edges of the text block. A wonderful copy of this early work devoted solely to the female motorist. Sections include 'choosing the car', 'engaging a chauffeur' and 'learning to drive', with additional comments on hill starts, as well as suggestions for touring the continent and driving in Paris. Though of course ironic that such a guide was written by a man, Henslowe had been commissioned to write the book by the women's periodical, 'The Gentlewoman', which often reported on female motoring activity including the activities of the London-based Ladies' Automobile Club.Undated, but with institutional holdings assigning dates between 1914 and 1916. The lack of reference to wartime service or conditions suggests the earlier of these two margins.  Surprisingly scarce, with just 4 copies located in the UK, and 2 in the US.…
