I really want to pick up this book, Let's Bring Back! I've read about it several places (Vanity Fair, Country Living.) See below from the author's website. You'll get an idea of what it focuses on...Everything old is new again! What would you bring back? For me---manners and hats.
In the pages of Let’s Bring Back, you’ll rediscover the merits of many things, such as:
* Sealing wax, quill pens, and telegrams ... * The old Orient Express and the grand Palm Beach sleeper ...
* Fainting couches, quizzing glasses, and zinc bars ...
* Top hats, liveried footmen, and the devilish French caricaturist “Sem” ...
* The barbed wit and deliciously vile bon mots of Algonquin Round Table legends Dorothy Parker, Alexander Woollcott, and Tallulah Bankhead ...
* The unapologetically eccentric styles of fashion icons Diana Vreeland, Isabella Blow, and the Marchesa Casasti ...
* Delectable ambrosia, Tipsy Parson, and star-gazey pie ...
... and much more.
