About me Haunted by a charm-school class in junior high school and the inability to do my own hair or apply makeup, I have been collecting classic advice books for almost twenty years in a quest to sort it all out. I have a keen interest in historical materials and pop culture, not to mention a love of crawling around dirty used bookstores to find the perfect book to add to my collection. I live in an old house in Takoma Park, Maryland, with a terrier mutt, and have an amazing collection of ice crushers.

About my library Oh, only a mere 1,000 or so classic advice books spanning from 1822 to 1978 (I am slooowly adding them here). Topics include, dating, love, living together, marriage, health, beauty, puberty, sex, etiquette, housekeeping, home economics, and home repairs. On the website I answer questions to modern-day problems using the old advice books. I also have a new book of my own, Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating, and Marriage: Classic Advice for Contemporary Dilemmas!

Abs, I have an edition of "Live Alone and Like It", that is signed. If you want that copy, let me know and I'll throw it in the box of stuff I'm sending.

Hi Abigail, Where did you get the copy of Cain Sloan's book, Weddinhg Embassy Yearbook. I got mine from my oldest and dearest friend who is black and we tore down her house in '05 and it was inside. I sorta count it a treasure because I went to schol in Nashville one year. My daught-in-law is from Cattonville and I think your town near there. What a collection you have! I love LT. haley
