I love the style of the red font against the blue and how the cover is starting to deteriorate in the right hand corner. There is no date in the book but taking a rough guess I'm thinking 50's- it smells delicious and musty. I'm very excited about the yellow book, I think it will have some interesting and possibly humorous content with chapter titles such as: "neurosis has a goal", "the pattern in compulsions, depression and sleeplessness" and "the significance of our phantasies and peculiarities". I love these vintage self help type books, although this one is from the 1960's so is not as old as A Women's Best Years, which I have used in one way or another in a lot of my work so far.
....and I also found some more tins! Oh joy.....
Fascinating, I love old books. If the brains understanding was only that simple eh!!
