Don’t forget that very true remark that while face powder may catch a man, baking powder is the stuff to hold him. Marriage can be a series of humorous miscommunications, a power struggle, or a diplomatic nightmare. Men and women have long struggled to figure each other out—and the misunderstandings can continue well after they’ve been joined in matrimony. But long before Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus , couples turned to self-help booklets such as How to Be a Good Husband and How to Be a Good Wife , two historic advice books that are now delightfully reproduced by the Bodleian Library. The books, originally published in the 1930s for middle-class British couples, are filled with witty and charming aphorisms on how wives and husbands should treat each other. Some advice is unquestionably outdated—“It is a wife’s duty to look her best. If you don’t tidy yourself up, don’t be surprised if your husband begins to compare you unfavorably with the typist at the office”—but many other pieces of advice are wholly applicable today. They include such insightful sayings as: “Don’t tell your wife terminological inexactitudes, which are, in plain English, lies. A woman has wonderful intuition for spotting even minor departures from the truth”; “After all is said and done, husbands are not terribly difficult to manage”; or “Don’t squeeze the tube of toothpaste from the top instead of from the bottom. This is one of the small things of life that always irritates a careful wife.” Entertaining and charmingly illustrated, How to Be a Good Husband and How to Be a Good Wife offer enduringly useful advice for all couples, from the newly engaged to those celebrating their golden anniversary.

I had ordered this book from another seller for my son s birthday, but the person I had ordered from did not follow through. I was without a present and a book for my son s birthday. I ordered from floridatopratedseller and received the book with 3 days. It came with a cut on the cover and they offered for me to send it back, but I settled for a discounted refund. The customer service was great and the purchase was legit helpful. I would recommend this seller to anyone. Thank you for the help!
There was a lot mix up due to courier cargo company requiring a 6 digit code for delivery. I requested that the package be delivered at my door. I didnt receive a 6 digit code. This caused a lot of confusion. Luckily, I have RING & was able to record the conversation. The seller wanted proof that I was not given the package because the courier marked it as delievered, but I never got it! So I had to prove to the seller. The seller was nice about it & issued a partial refund of $10.
Product was damage when I received it most likely from shipping or at least I would hope that's what it was from and they didn't send a damage item to me that was supposed to be "new". The return policy was smooth and easy and didn't cost me a dime. Communication wasn't good. I messaged and asked a question and never received a response. Package should have been a box with bobble wrap around the book in my opinion. Still giving a good review because shipping and return
