And by style, we mean style, _Seventies Style_. The book is a lavishly illustrated guide to the fabrics, furnishings and fixtures of that very particular period of time when carpets were run up steps right to the edge of the bath, when tiles were as garish as the shirts being worn, and when what we understand of as modern domestic convenience began to take hold of homes. It's difficult to do this book justice in words and even the few photographs here are just a small sense of the colourful and often (to our eyes) utterly outlandish sense of style it contains and encourages.  The text itself is an intriguing read and has a tone all of it's own...!

The book itself is in good condition with no spine or page damage and just a few signs of age and use, notably a little wear to corners, a couple of knicks to the cover, and a very slight warping generally. It's a hardback measuring 21 cm by 28cm, and consisting of 120 pages. Definitely a rare opportunity to get your hands on it, run your eyes through it and get your head around it...!

]]> Delightful This And That Children’s Rhyming Card Game by Piatnik and Sons https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/delightful-this-and-that-childrens-rhyming-card-game-by-piatnik-and-sons/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=delightful-this-and-that-childrens-rhyming-card-game-by-piatnik-and-sons Tue, 17 Sep 2019 07:41:57 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=4952 A charming vintage card game called "This And That" which features delightfully illustrated cards and comes with its original box and instructions. The aim of the game, once the 32 cards are dealt, is to match a verse of rhyme to a picture card. The included instruction booklet outlines some variations of the game which may be employed. The typographic error on the "alarm clock" picture card only adds to the charming nature of this item!

Complete and in good condition, the cards are remarkably free of wear and the box, with its neatly hinged lid is also in good shape, bar some discoloration where tape was used to seal it and a couple of very small patches of surface loss.
