Original collection of five vintage Joe Bonomo Handy Pocket Manuals published by the Bonomo Culture Institute, New York, during the 1950s. Included are Make-Up...and Live! (No. 1), How to Become Lovelier After Forty (No. 7), How to Simplify Your Housekeeping (No. 10), Bonomo Beauty Ritual – How to Beautify Your Bust Contour (No. 13), and Gain Weight – The Scientific & Easy Way to Add Pounds and Inches (No. 14).
Filled with period photographs, illustrations, beauty advice, exercise routines, diet programs, and household hints, these colorful digest-size manuals capture the optimism and style of postwar America. An attractive and increasingly difficult group to assemble, appealing to collectors of vintage beauty culture, mid-century design, women's history, advertising art, fitness, ephemera, and Americana. Sold together as one original vintage lot. Please review all photographs as they are part of the description and show the exact books included.
