The timeless and collectible "Entertaining Is Fun: How to Be a Popular Hostess" by Dorothy Draper (1889-1969). This is the 2004 edition published by Rizzoli International Publications and features a charming retro dust jacket. Draper became an icon of stylish living through her interior decorating and many books. Originally published in 1941, “Entertaining Is Fun!: How to Be a Popular Hostess” is one of Draper’s most delightful creations, hailed in the original flap copy of the book as “neither a cookbook nor a book of etiquette, but a vivacious and inspiring book on home entertaining.” Not only will contemporary readers glimpse an important part of our social past, they will find great value just as those who flocked to get a copy at its original publication. The book features a preface by Eloise Davison and an introduction by Carleton Varney. This is a clean copy with the exception of permanent markings indicating it is a former library book. These marks are on the inside cover page, the title page, and stamped on top edge. See photographs. The dust cover is also glued down. A stunning addition to your collection!
