"Beauty Begins at Home: How to Make and Use Cosmetics" by Katharine Wellman, 1936 First Edition
A charming antique hardcover from 1936, *Beauty Begins at Home: How to Make and Use Cosmetics* by Katharine Wellman, published by Covici-Friede of New York. The title and author are lettered in soft gilt across a rose-mauve spine, set against pretty lilac cloth boards — a romantic little volume from the golden age of the vanity table.
Inside, the title page carries the elegant Covici-Friede imprint, and a previous owner has signed her name, "Marjorie Floyd," in graceful ink across the front flyleaf — a lovely trace of the book's past life. The pages are gently toned with age, and the cloth shows soft fading and light wear at the spine, all adding to its vintage character.
A delightful find for collectors of Art Deco beauty ephemera, vintage vanity décor, or anyone who loves a decorative stack of old books. Equally at home styled on a dressing table, a shelf, or a coffee table.
