[Signed] Price, Lita. How to Manage Without a Maid. First Edition. 1942. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition. Book is inscribed, “To Helenette and [?] for the [?] suggestions given last summer. Lita Price. March 9, 1942.”
This book was written for the upscale woman that, for the first time in her life, was compelled to do her own housework as result of the shortage of servants created by World War II. Its premise is that superior organizational skills, combined with the conveniences found in a modern kitchen, made it possible to not only manage, but to do so graciously. One example: always have a tea set ready to go, just in case an unexpected guest drops by. This book is in very short supply; there appear to be no other copies listed for sale at the moment.
