Hurrah!

Oxfam came up trumps today - a book I've put on the back burner for a while, Visual Magick by Jan Fries and an older volume called The Marriage Book, which is without author or publication date. It has black and white plates in depicting photos of children and trifles, so I don't think it's that old. Maybe 40s/50s. The contents page was intriguing: Chapter II Getting To Know Yourselves: The Male and Female Sex Organs; Chapter IV The Love Art of the Husband: The Length of Intercourse. It goes from planning babies to dealing with problem children, pickling onions, sewing pockets, children's games, insurance...... I had to get it. Might get some useful insights into married life by going old school. As long as I don't have to get up three hours before him to make breakfast and bathe him, I'm fine :) Perhaps once I get reading I'll get some indication or mention of the era.
