About This Item
Very little wear. Green cloth covered boards with dark red over the spine. (Not sure if the red material is leather or a facsimile, just like the book.) Gilt print on the spine. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked, with many illustrations. The original book was published in 1861, and claims to contain information for the Mistress, Housekeeper, Cook, Kitchen-Maid, Butler, Footman, Coachman, Valet, Upper and Under House-Maids, Lady's Maid, Maid-of-all-Work, Laundry-Maid, Nurse and Nurse-maid, Monthly, Wet and Sick Nurses, etc. etc. If you have all that staff, or dream of it, you really need this book. A moderately rare book. This book will ship at over two pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.
