Notes:

Deals with the advertising of furniture - 'this book is an attempt to show the many different ways furniture manufacturers and retailers have actually handled the 'showing off' of their wares, warts [ie poor practice] and all; an account that has found some surprisingly good examples, whether the furniture being hyped was tuppence plain or penny coloured'. Has sections: 'Buildings' - ie production / retail buildings; 'Exhibitions'; 'Catalogues'; 'Advertising'; 'Epilogue'
