This book is filled with page after page of colorful photographs and descriptions of unique and interesting devices that show you the creativity that once was. The usual items were used to fill specific needs in Victorian era homes and offices.
This book was very interesting - it would have been better to see some shots of the "items" being used in real life.
Ingenious contraptions, funny, useful and entertaining. I kept mine in the 'reading room' ;-)I'd highly recommend this fun book.
Actually I bought this book as a gift to my brother. After flipping through the pages, I decided to read it cover to cover.
The ultimate steam punk reference for writers who must incorporate clogs and the like!.
