Description

No inscriptions or marks. A lovely clean crisp very tight copy with bright clean boards, tiny mark to rear cover near spine and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or torn or creased. 230pp. The subject of this book is best described as domestic archaeology, a quest for establishing exactly how our ancestors kept themslves clean, warm and well-fed. This the author did by visiting over a hundred National Trust properties which she examined in great detail. Illustrated in black & white. The emphasis is on text and fact rather than pictures.
