Warm-and-snug-a-history-of-the-bed-sutton-history-classics-13214260

This is a well-researched and entertaining book, a fascinating history of the place where we spend nearly a third of our lives. Ranging from a Neolithic stone bed unearthed at Skara Brae, to the bed from Tutankamen's tomb.
Illustrated with over 200 images, including early wood-engravings and etchings and later contemporary drawings, this book explores beautiful, bizarre and humorous approaches to beds.
Filled with a wealth of curious facts this is an ideal book for anyone interested in the history of everyday things.
