This may look like an innocent book cover from the 1940s, but just you wait. Feminists of the world, brace yourselves!
The man is always right? Wait...what man? There's a man out there somewhere who's always right? Oh, right, I forgot. This is fiction. From the 1940s. We thought this book title was HILARIOUS. Another great find, Wendy!

Are you reading this? "A woman should never say what she thinks to a man unless it is flattering." Well, that's a rule I've broken a time or two. I certainly hope Claire put old Terry in his place by the end of the book.
How to have guests for dinner and enjoy them? What kind of cook book is this?
Pretty title page.

These are so cute! I love this idea. Makes me want to make some for my friends. I need to price that Bind-it-all and see if I can afford one.
And this one is for Lain. I adore Lain! She's fabulous! Love me some Snippets.

His philosophy - women should be bare foot and pregnant.
(Oh and I have 5 kids, so silly me got sucked in good before I saw the light!)
Still it's funny cos I have a collection of those types of retro books happening. Seems I am 'drawn' to them!

Thanks for the laughs!
P.S. How's that savoury potato salad recipe?? Good enough to share? or just too 1950's? ;)
