So what about the paper? Is it also pulp like the other book I have listed, The Magic of Color Harmony In Dress?
Actually, no. It’s a better quality paper, coated in fact. The paper was also manufactured with students in mind. It has less acid, so it hasn’t browned as fast. And due to the fact that it’s a better quality and coated, it’s much more likely to resist stains.
Does it have any fashion plates?
No, and this is what makes this book less desirable and worth far less than the above book. It has printed images, but does have color plates, dealing with…color. It doesn’t have the very pretty women of all sizes, colors and body types like the first book. This is an instructional book first and a fashion book second. It is a practical book about teaching women basic fashion skills to keep the looking good and for them to keep their husbands.
Is this book in short supply?
Actually no. I found this copy online for $2.50 at a bookseller site last week. These are very common, and are part of a series published for the homemaker. Most people buy these separately, as not everyone is interested in the entire set. You can pick up one of these for as little as a couple bucks on ebay if you are patient. Since they were printed in the thousands, many women had them during this period, either as students in a school dedicated to homemaking, or purchased out of mail order catalogs.
Since they were made to withstand usage, that’s exactly what they are doing. My copy has a few bumps and chips (chips are bumps which remove a small bit of the cover), but is otherwise ok. After nearly 100 years, the pages are still tightly bound, the paper is bright and easily readable, and it can withstand normal reading.
So what do you recommend?
Set a low price and stick with it when searching for this book. It is easily found.
