![The American Frugal Housewife: Dedicated to Those Who Are Not Ashamed of Economy (Mrs. Child [Lydia Maria])](http://omnivorebooks.myshopify.com/cdn/shop/products/vintage_book_americanfrugalhousewife.jpg?v=1530480732)
The American Frugal Housewife: Dedicated to Those Who Are Not Ashamed of Economy (Mrs. Child [Lydia Maria])
$200.00
/
130 pp. Original cloth-backed printed boards. 29th Edition. NY: Samuel S. & William Wood, 1844. Title page cites as 29th edition, while cover states 27th.
Strong emphasis on thrift and self-reliance; offers suggestions for the frugal life in general, as well as for thrifty cooking. Rubbing to extremities, discoloration to covers & some interior faint dampstaining; front free endpaper lacking, rear free endpaper lacking lower 1/4, thus good only, but a scarce and important work.
