About this product

Product Information

This survey of the development of confectionery in Britain and its place in our social history. The author examines the history of the principal companies with stories of their best-known brands and their advertising, slogans and gimmicks. Drawing on his own collection of packaging ephemera now totalling over 250,000 items, housed at the Museum of Advertising and Packaging in Gloucester, Robert Opie illustrates this account of the national sweet tooth with posters, wrappers and pictures of the products themselves. Robert Opie is the author of Rule Britannia: Trading on the British Image and The Art of the Label .

    Accurately described, fairly priced, excellent communication and timely delivery. Through no fault of the sender the book arrived in ripped packaging with damaged pages and having been run over by a pallet truck or similar machinery whilst in transit with Whistle. The sender promptly refunded the purchase price and apologised although blameless. I have no qualms buying from them in the future just in their choice of delivery firm.

    I had an outstanding experience with this seller! The item was exactly as described, and it arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition. The seller was incredibly responsive and helpful, answering all my questions promptly. The shipping was super fast, and I received the package within just a few days. A truly professional and reliable seller who goes above and beyond to provide exceptional service. I look forward to doing business with them again in the future. Thank you so much!

    Good ebayer, great comms, good prices, item as described, & delivered swiftly. Pleasure to do business with and would again. Packaging could use some minor improvement as the thin plastic bag clearly tore around the corners / edges in transit, however books inside were undamaged (hence positive review).
