These pics of some vintage adverts were kindly supplied by VP from one of her Penguin Handbooks.Since my last post on the subject I have been looking at Penguin Handbooks in an "Oooh, what a great idea for a collection" sort of way, and will be doing a post on them soon. VP, what have you started?
A blog I can recommend for vintage stuff from books and magazines is Kiss My Aster.
The author, Amanda, has 3 issues of a book from the 60s called Better Homes & Gardens New Garden Book, which she posts on from time to time and which I covet deeply.
