From Wikipedia: "The Saturday Book was an annual miscellany, published from 1941 to 1975, reaching 34 volumes. It was edited initially by Leonard Russell and from 1952 by John Hadfield. A final compilation, The Best of the Saturday Book, was published in 1981. The Saturday Book provided literary and artistic commentary about life in Britain during the Second World War and the ensuing decades. It covered a range of arts, including ballet and music. Many writers contributed poems as well as essays." A partial quote from inside the dust cover of this 32nd issue: "This year the editor of THE SATURDAY BOOK looks back fifty years to the early 'twenties, immediately before the era of short skirts and the Charleston. There is nostalgia galore, but it is a period full of curious surprises. James Laver writes of the fashions and social conventions of the year 1923, while John Foster White describes in fascinating detail how a typical suburban family amused themselves then. There is a colour-illustrated feature by Martin Battersby on Art Deco (an up-and-coming collector's interest of today), Nick Georgano surveys the motorcars of 1923, and Kenneth Allsop delves into the history of Chicago Jazz. There are also evocative essays on Indoor Games by Fred Bason and the Silent Comics of the Screen by Richard Boston - uproariously illustrated." This is only some of the articles and miscellaneous tidbits of interest this volume contains.
