Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an instructive catalogue of turn-of-the-century consumer products, boasting one of the largest selections of home goods ever curated. Ranging from furniture to clothing to cutlery to carriages and bicycles, this book presents over 100,000 products with prices significantly lower than those of the author's competitors. The author designed the catalogue with a specific intent to challenge the status quo of catalogue availability and affordability. The author claims that most catalogues were reserved for the wealthy or required consumers to pay exorbitant amounts just to browse. The author also argues that most catalogue companies used the revenue from inflated catalogue costs to then likewise inflate the cost of their products. The author provides a solution to both qualms by offering a more reasonably priced catalogue with the ambition of passing the savings on to the consumer. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780243084746_0
