Little gem of a book! If you appreciate vintage post cards and learning about the history of Halloween you will treasure this. Full color postcards are featured from the 1880's thru the 1920's. Poems & greetings from those time periods are also highlighted. I really enjoyed the details describing how folks in different countries celebrated Halloween. It was also surprising to see the romantic - instead of the spooky - side to the holiday. So many of the Halloween postcards read like valentines. The book is beautifully designed. A Halloween treat.
