About this product

Product Information

At Christmas time, post-war America's dreams and desires were on full display, from shopping centre Santas to shiny aluminium Christmas trees, from the Grinch to Charlie Brown's beloved spindly Christmas tree. Now design maven Sarah Archer tells the story of how Christmas time in America rocketed from the Victorian period into Space Age thanks to the new technologies and unprecedented prosperity that shaped the era. This book features icons of that time: a visual feast of Christmas eats and recipes, from magazines and food and appliance makers; Christmas cards from artists and designers of the era; and vintage how-to templates and instructions for Chirstmas decorations from Good Housekeeping and the 1960's craft craze.

Always happy with the Nile's service. Whilst dispatch can take longer than others, books are sourced at a great price from locations worldwide and from prior experience I know to order in advance. I ordered three expensive textbooks for uni, two weeks later they were dispatched and the next day received - all earlier than expected timeframe. Packaged very well, books intact. Great seller, updated tracking and items as described. A+++

  • Delightful book (with one issue for some readers)

    This book provides an entertaining trip into Christmases of the past, especially for those who grew up during the midcentury years. However, the use of a fine font and on some pages, not much contrast between text and background, can make it difficult to read for many in that age group. There are enough great photos for this to stand alone as a picture-book, but the text adds so much fun and interesting background information. If it were more visually-friendly, I would give this book a solid 5 stars. If you don't mind the font issue and you like shiny glass ornaments, aluminum trees, and midcentury toys, you will love this book!
