A wonderful mix of the more liberated American women's fashions and 'dashing' British military and civilian uniforms. Often called "The Forgotten Era", the "Teens" bridge the gap between the Edwardians and the Flappers. American women's fashions are amazingly soft and informal while the British cling to a more formal look. We have combined The American Garment Cutter for Women's Garments with British patterns and articles from the West End Gazette to cover all types of clothing for men and women, plus British military uniforms and civilian uniforms such as Red Cross, policemen, chauffeurs, etc. There are many fashion illustrations and a department store catalog of 1915.

El Libro de Lovecraft, de Richard A. Lupoff, es un magnífico homenaje al más excéntrico y venerado escritor de cuentos de terror de todos los tiempos, y constituye a la vez una meticulosa recreación de una época -los años 20- y un capítulo escabroso (todavía no cerrado) de la historia humana: el desarrollo y propagación por todo el globo terráqueo de las ideas nazis, racistas y fascistas de toda índole. H. P. Lovecraft es tentado repetidamente por el fanático George Sylvester Viereck para que preste su pluma y su linaje anglosajón a la causa fascista y escriba una especie de Mein Kampf americano; a cambio, Viereck se encargará de la edición de un volumen que reúna los cuentos de terror de Lovecraft, hasta entonces dispersos en revistas «pulp» y prensa de aficionados. Aunque las aborrecibles opiniones políticas del escritor son conocidas por todos, sus amigos no creen que Howard conozca en realidad las ponzoñosas aguas en las que está a punto de hundirse. Es entonces cuando Frank Belknap Long, Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, y, sobre todo, Hardeen «el misterioso», hermano de Houdini (y escapista también), se ponen en movimiento para mantener a Lovecraft lejos de las garras de las fuerzas oscuras...
