What Every Woman Ought to Know is a fascinating and poignant compilation of love and lifestyle tips, passed down to the contemporary lady from the good women of 100 years ago. Author, Gavin Mortimer, has exhaustively scoured the publications of yesteryear, the pre-cursor to ‘problem pages’, to find unique, useful hints and tips. Some are practical, some intriguing and others exotic, such as the honourable intentions, or otherwise, of a gentleman that has telephoned repeatedly but not yet proposed; the merits of preparing chamomile tea as a beauty treatment; and ways to make automobile riding less painful. Included are recipes for pimples on the skin, and colds and sore throats, remedies for deafness in old people, split ends and wrinkles, and advice on the never-ending problems of courting and romance. Packed full of sound and thoughtful advice, and with chapters on love, etiquette, beauty, home-making, health, exercise…and more, What Every Woman Ought to Know is the perfect way to introduce some decorum into the life of every modern girl. Gavin Mortimer is an author and journalist whose work has been published in the UK, Europe and America. He has written several children’s books, The Great Swim (about the race to become the first female to swim the English Channel), and Chasing Icarus (about the early days of aviation.)

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
