Put yourself in your wife's place and see how you would like some of the things she has to put up with. Originally published in 1913, Don'ts for Husbands provides advice that's as equally compelling as its companion, Don'ts for Wives (also available from Cosimo Classics). In this comical, enlightening, and historical booklet, Blanche Ebbutt shifts sides of the marital equation, delivering advice-some of which still rings true today-to help shape a proper and successful husband. Offering tips on General Habits, Jealousy, Food, and many more timeless topics, Don'ts for Husbands is the perfect gift for anyone interested in the evolution of society, and who ultimately loves to laugh. In addition to Don'ts for Wives a third installment in this series, Don'ts for Mothers, is also available from Cosimo Classics. Little is known about BLANCHE EBUT other than the knowledge that she is the author of the witty, instructive 20th century etiquette guides Don'ts for Wives and Don'ts for Husbands. It is suspected that she was also the anonymous author of the earlier Don'ts for Mothers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49506172272913,"sku":"GOR000877171","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49709034864913,"sku":"CIN0713687916G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49731082912017,"sku":"NGR9780713687910","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50032522363153,"sku":"CIN0713687916VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50414363410705,"sku":"GOR009031698","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51006141006097,"sku":"NIN9780713687910","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51141174362385,"sku":"GOR012728660","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52085328871697,"sku":"GOR002994669","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0713687916.jpg?v=1762337386"},{"product_id":"don-ts-for-golfers-book-ian-woosnam-9781408106716","title":"Don'ts for Golfers","description":"First published in 1925, this facsimile edition contains hundreds of entertaining tips for golfers of all ages and abilities. 'Don't over-indulge yourself in eating and drinking during the non-golfing days, and then expect to work off excess by \"a good game of Golf.\" You may play Golf of sorts, but it will not be a good game.'  This pocket-sized facsimile edition contains hundreds of tips for golfers of all abilities. The advice, ranging from technique and fashion to etiquette on the course and in the Club House, provides an entertaining snapshot of life in 1920s Britain.   Don'ts for Husbands and Don'ts for Wives were republished by A\u0026amp;C Black in 2007 and have sold over 2.5 million copies and been translated into 15 languages.  Don'ts for Golfers was republished in 2008 and has sold more than 180,000 copies to date.   Handy tips include:  'Don't over-indulge yourself in eating and drinking during the non-golfing days, and then expect to work off excess by \"a good game of Golf.\" You may play Golf of sorts, but it will not be a good game.'  'Don't make Golf your sole topic of conversation. There are a few otherwise quite intelligent persons who are non-golfers. You will never make converts if you bore non-players to distraction by for ever talking of the Royal and Ancient Game.'  'Don't blame your clubs for faults of your own that may be easily corrected if you analyze your methods of using the implements.'  'Don't keep up a running fire of conversation during the round. Golf is a game in which thought is necessary and silence is preferable to chatter.'  'Don't irritate your opponent by wearing jazzy colours. To dazzle his eyes with a multi-coloured pull-over or peace-disturbing golf stockings is to take a mean advantage.'","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49510299795729,"sku":"GOR003030465","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49732824957201,"sku":"NGR9781408106716","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49876412596497,"sku":"CIN140810671XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49895586496785,"sku":"GOR013809378","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/140810671X.jpg?v=1751369839"},{"product_id":"don-ts-for-dancers-book-karsinova-9781408109892","title":"Don'ts for Dancers","description":"Don'ts for Dancers was originally printed in 1925 and contains hundreds of snippets of entertaining, timeless and amusing advice for anyone learning to dance or attending a party.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49531599061265,"sku":"GOR003265511","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49617740103953,"sku":"GOR013443176","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49641959063825,"sku":"GOR003704406","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50145677476113,"sku":"GOR013870399","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50338777399569,"sku":"CIN1408109891VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B0092FP0BI.jpg?v=1751271692"},{"product_id":"don-ts-for-wives-book-blanche-ebbutt-9780713687903","title":"Don'ts for Wives","description":"Art is a hard mistress, and there is no art quite so hard as that of being a wife. So begins this entertaining and enlightening booklet of Don'ts for Wives. Discussing such categories as How to Avoid Discord, Financial Matters, Food, and Evenings at Home, Don'ts for Wives is full of advice for ways in which a proper and loving wife should behave toward her husband. Each chapter is comprised of a list of don'ts that wives should follow if they wish to run a successful home and keep their husbands happy. While much of the advice is outdated, a surprising number of her recommendations are still applicable today. A delightful glimpse into turn-of-the-century British life, Don'ts for Wives is for anyone interested in etiquette, sociology, or who is just looking for a laugh. Also part of this series are Don'ts for Husbands and Don'ts for Mothers, available from Cosimo Classics.
