From the Dust Jacket: "This funny, funky, oddly elegant book of Victoriana and Victorian crafts grew from musty copies of CASSELL'S HOUSEHOLD GUIDE, an 1870s English ladies' magazine. 'Tasteful Tips' for running a proper Victorian household, directing one's 'staff,' and engaging in dignified recreation for ladies are among the sometimes proper, sometimes preposterous subjects discussed. Much of the book is devoted to more than 60 enchanting bibelots for the house and garden -- arts and crafts at once Victorian, at once up-to-date: shellwork boxes, an imitation ebony and ivory chessboard, furniture decorated with chintz, an illuminated back-gammon board, hair work, buttonwork, beadwork, 19th-century Christmas decorations, imitation coral ornaments -- and on. For the garden, they've designed rustic doll furniture, an acorn plant container, a dovecote, and a sundial, even an aeolian harp." Bound in the original gilt-lettered blue cloth, with blind-stamped decorations on the front cover. Subtitle: Being a compilation of authentic home and hand crafts popular in the era of Her Most excellent Majesty, Victoria, by the grace of God Queen, assembled from the original 19th century edition of Cassell's Household Guide, London, and enlarged and expounded by the present authors.".

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
