Synopsis

This vintage book contains a collection of simple recipes for making a variety of cosmetic products ranging from powders and perfumes to creams and lotions. Written in simple, plain language and easy-to-follow, this volume will appeal to those with an interest in home-made cosmetics, and is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: "The Skin: How to Prepare and Improve its Velvety Texture and the Delicacy of its Hues", "How and Where to Procure the Materials for Making the Different Preparations in this Book", "A Few Words to the Ladies", "Special Directions and Instructions for Using Preparations made after Recipes in this Book", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
