The Back of the Book
Are you a dedicated follower of fashion?
Never before published in book form, this nostalgic collection of original facsimile leaflets shows how Second World War shortages affected not only fashionable clothes but almost everything else, too.
Millions of people in Britain had to make do as best they could when clothes, shoes and household goods were rationed. The Government issued scores of jolly propaganda leaflets giving advice about repairing, refurbishing and recycling - advice that is still relevant today.
Browse through these pages to find hints and tips that combine forties' thriftiness with ecologically sound 'green' thinking for the twenty-first century.
