About This Item
A fascinating, lively and yet scholarly examination of all the items associated with a child's nursery. Touted as the first study of its sort. Illustrations of 125 objects add to the experience. And the authors ask some great questions, including: when was the first pram made; did you know the feeding bottle has a 4,000 year old history; why were rattles made by the finest silver craftsmen of their day? An excellent read.
A first rate copy. Pages are clean, bright and unmarked with minor spotting at the top edges. Cloth boards are tight and clean. DJ is unclipped, birght and unmarked with no spine fading and seemingly no shelfwear. Only detraction a very small sticker partially covering the original price on the flap, though the price is visible through it. All now protected in professional clear book wrapper. 120pp with many unique B&W illustrations
