pickMore than 20 years before Charlottes Web, E.B. White published this odd gem as satire after the emergence of sexology in the 1900s from scientists like Freud and others I‘ve never previously heard of. Enjoyed the chapters about explaining sex to parents and male frigidity, shown by illustrations here by James Thurber. Like not love it... had this on my shelf for ages and finally read it as my February #bookspin #doublespin thanks @TheAromaofBooks
Almost done with this oldie. Hilarious at times. Enjoyed the chapter about teaching parents about sex. This illustration caption got me! “It is customary to illustrate sexology chapters with a cross section of the human body. The authors here chose to substitute in its place a chart of the North Atlantic, showing airplane routes. The authors realize that this will be of no help to the sex novice, but neither is a cross section of the human body.”
Have never participated in any of these, but this sounds like a good one! I have a bunch that have been waiting for me to read on my physical bookshelf... @TheAromaofBooks #bookspin #dooublespin
Book haul from the Book Sorting: Old books
There‘s something to be said for living in an area where the people are book lovers and hold on to books for DECADES. #ModerLibrary #Thurber and an illustrated Shaker Cook Book from 1953!
