This is a complete library of small books on various subjects of interest to a 1960's -1970's era housewife. The books evidently stayed in print, as one is dated 1978 but most photos are of a distinctly 1960's (Mad Men) era.
This is a treasure trove of knowledge, as these books will teach you EXACTLY what they knew and used back then, no nostalgic sheen. Invaluable for research or authentic decorating. Titles include:
• How to Use the ABCs of Sewing
•*Your Trip to Europe
• How to Be Safe in Your Home
• How to Plan Your Vacation - And Enjoy it!
•*How to Set and Care for Your Hair
• How to Entertain Out of Doors
• The Little Book of Christmas
• How to Arrange Flowers
• How to Decorate with House Plants
• What You Should Know About Furniture
• Your Good Health
• Antiques for Your Home
• How to Handle Your Correspondence
• Sewing for Your Home
• Happy Marriage
• How to Be Well Dressed
