1st edition thus; large hardback, 192 pages. End papers decorated with colour reproductions of covers from Good Housekeeping Magazine 1922-1942. Text generously decorated with b&w illustrations from same period. Hard covers very good, just a little shelf wear to lower edge and slight edgewear to top of dj. Contents as new. Designed to celebrate the topics of eating and drinking, the book offers a fascinating collection of articles, advertisements and recipes sourced from the pages of the magazine. Illustrates the evolving food products, fads and fancies of two decades and gives an historic glimpse of famous food manufacturers, eg Allinson's Flour, Scott's Porrige Oats, St Ivel Cheese, Tate & Lyle Sugar, Vaseline and many more. Interesting recipes reflect the economic constraints of the times, particularly those from the period of the second world war. Contributions from Lady Violet Bonham Carter, Sir Osbert Sitwell and Rex Whistler.
