This item contains much advice regarding a Victorian or Dickensian era woman's individuality! (Original is NOT for sale)
Our new line of Spiral Bound Book Republications™ oh-so-conveniently lie flat while in use!
This is a unbelievably nice touch if you have every tried to work while your hands are full of your in-progress project. As an avid reader myself my personal experience prompted my choice of spiral binding for it's ease-of-use alone. We believe you'll love it too!
An excerpt:
"What is beauty? Successful beauty id individuality. Will I be forgiven if I betray some of the secrets of studio life? "The end will justify the means" if I give to the public impressions, opinions, suggestions and information, which, in my contact with all classes of my own sex, I have gathered from time to time. Ladies from the "upper ten" and Models from the "lower five" have each contributed their share in my conclusions of what beauty really is...A beautiful hand, a beautiful foot, lovely hair, a fine pair of eyes, regular teeth--any one of these gives a woman a claim to beauty. And how many times they catch the wandering heart of some man, making the possessor, to him, a beautiful woman."
