Haven't I heard that Mrs. B. wasn't quite the
'real thing?' :<) I have a 1946 book on the shelf by someone named Jessie De Both who is called 'the famous home economist' I love books like this.

Yes, the book is a whopper 672 pages. It is though more of a text than a cover to cover read, and it has a great cover.

Took a look at Bunny's Stuff's reviews, seems like a gigantic book to read… but it contains so much useful information. And it's a history lesson too!

My home management fails miserably! I am looking forward to reading. It will be a while yet as I have a rather healthy pile of library books and a book to review, hence be installed in the bookcase already.

Good looking book – I am afraid that one would go the same way as the “declutter your life” book… right from the store to the shelf… I still have not read it… GAH! I really should 🙂

I have a copy I bought years ago — with a different cover. It's fascinating reading. Can't wait to hear your thoughts about it.
