What a treasure! It’s perfect for collectors and fans of Good Housekeeping. Published in 1947 by Hearst Publishing, it features beautiful color illustrations and was edited by Helen Kendall. 491 pages. This is a How To Book - covering everything from cleaning, cooking, and ironing … to household pests, fix it yourself, and how to live in the country! Illustrations are in vibrant colors. The dust jacket has several rips and tears and is in VERY fragile condition. The book itself is in good condition. There’s a handwritten name on the inside cover. The pages have yellowed over the years but overall are all in good condition without tears or marks. Some pictures of the illustrated pages may appear to have a stain … but it’s just a shadow from the lighting. I’ve included some pictures from Pages 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27. These pages are not torn, but have some discoloration in the spine - and/or the glue seems to be too far out of the spine area. There are not any missing pages. PLEASE look carefully at the pictures. If this is a vintage or antique item there will be some wear and signs of use as is common due to age. Please carefully check all pictures to make sure you are okay with the imperfections that define the character of this unique piece. If you need additional pictures I will be happy to take them. All items are sold As-Is. THANK YOU!!!
