Product Description
PIn "Catalog: The Illustrated History of Mail-Order Shopping", Robin Cherry traces the timeline of these snapshots from American history and discovers along the way how we dressed, decorated our houses, worked, played, and got around. Catalogs are a record of how much things cost in different eras and how both language and graphic design have evolved. From corsets to bell-bottoms, from baby doll dresses and Doc Martens all the way to iPods, the history of these catalogs is the history of our lives and our culture. Organized into categories like clothing, food, animals, and houses, author Robin Cherry explores the vivid stories behind Sears, Montgomery Ward, Lillian Vernon, Harry David, Jackson Perkins, and of course, 45 years of the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book./P

AMAZING, NO ONE EVER THOUGHT OF THIS November 6, 2008

This is a trip, in all the right ways. It a hoot. It's also a trip down memory lane, a voyage through history and a graphic journey into the heartland of Americana. Ms. Cherry writes with style and wit and the illustrations she has chosen tickle my memory banks. I'm buying extra copies to give as gifts. This book is meant to be shared.
