Published by David & Charles Ltd., Brunel House, Newton Abbot, Devon First Edition 1985. First edition hard back bound in publisher's original green cloth covers, gilt stamping to spine. Quarto 10½� x 8½� unpaginated, approximately 350pp. Exact facsimile reproduction of the 1929 Harrods catalogue, produced by David & Charles as part of their own jubilee celebrations. For many people the event of the year was the publication of the annual Harrods General Catalogue. It was always a treasure trove - stylish, rare and fascinating - and much interest was also taken in the way this unique company, representing the very best of Britain, traded with its customers at home and in the far-flung parts of the British Commonwealth. A Nostalgic indulgence yet a work that repeatedly makes points of social and economic history and has reference value such as for those who have to portray the inter-war years of stage and screen. A whole world comes alive from Harrods Guaranteed Pukka Luggage to Paddling Punts to Boy’s Panta Leginettes; times of deliveries to Penge to the procedure to order by telephone on SLOANE 1234. Other particular departments depicted include Jewellery, Clocks, Silverware, Cutlery, Optical, Photographic, Artists’ Materials, Pictures, Pianos, Sports and Games, Dog Accessories, Turnery, China, Ironmongery, Toys, Drugs, Funeral, Grocery, and many more. Judging from the experience with similar catalogues reprinted in the earlier history of David & Charles, expect this catalogue to become a collector’s item of increasing value. Without inscription. Light splash mark to top edge. Nr. Fine in Nr. Fine dust wrapper, not price clipped. Dust wrapper protected.
