This small brochure/book transported me back to homes smelling of wooden floor wax polish, disinfectant , open coal fires and beef roasting.Gosh, how primitive it seems now, but how homely. It's good to see how the houses worked for us though. In excellent condition.

I purchased this book as I was given a Dolls House which I intend to renovate, I chose the 30's and needed information on house decor and furnishings for the period. This book has provided everything I wanted, it is well illustrated and shows many examples of houses and their interiors giving lots of information on the fashion in decoration and furnishings and the latest must have equipment and gadgets of the day. I looked at several other publications and I think this one was absolutely the best purchase it contains all the information I wanted and compares very favourably with some other very much more expensive publications.
Fascinating insight into a way of life (only just) gone. But seems like a world away.
