London Trip to Children BookFair 15th April 2015









One of the most unique books we came across as in size and the format of the book is interesting.




Amazed to see publishers from different parts of the world. What I found fascinating is how you can easily identify and predict which part of the world these books come from. You can see where the illustrators inspiration comes from by simply looking at their work. 




It is too big to get around every store :(



These popup novelty books are incredible. It must take a genius to figure out how to engineer each piece of paper. But.. would the book live long in the hands of a child?

1918 World War One Cookbook

 

 This cookbook was made in 1918, during World War One, when people were asked to limit their food supplies, from sugar to milk, to help with the war. People were asked to "stretch their food supplies". "What To Eat, and How to Cook It". It was "The Official Recipe" book. This booklet, along with the recipes, tells of how we can help win the war with food rationing, and other tips on helping to win the war with food.

This was written in 1918, distributed by Montgomery Ward and Co. This booklet is 61 pages, with three extra pages, which are blank, of "Your Own War Recipe". It measures almost 8 3/4" X 5 3/4". The issues of this booklet are as you can see in picture 3. it is separated from the front bottom cover and the booklet. Also, on the front, bottom right hand corner there is a small tear of the cover. The back, picture 2, has a small rip, about an inch. Otherwise the booklet is intact. For being almost 100 years old, it is in good shape. I see no writing in this book.
