How to Torture Your Husband and How to Torture Your Wife (1948)
First Editions of This Set of Cartoon-Illustrated Humor Books About the Best Ways to Torture Your Spouse
Adams, Caswell. Webster, H.T. How to Torture Your Husband and How to Torture Your Wife. Philadelphia and New York: John C. Winston, 1948.
Octavo. Hardcover. 1st Editions.
First edition of these popular laugh-out-loud books about ways to make your spouse's life a little worse, packed with cartoon-style illustrations. If marriage is sometimes war, these books hold the strategies for winning, battle by battle. Though they occasionally reflect 1940s attitudes, the tricks and tactics for annoying your spouse are often surprisingly relevant today. The perfect Valentine's Day or anniversary gift for the couple that enjoys a good laugh. With contemporary gift inscriptions in each volume (seemingly to a married couple). A very good to extremely good set of matching books, not often found together.
