American Culture in the 1940s (Twentieth Century American Culture)Jacqueline FoertschBooks |

The 1940s Home (Shire Library)Paul Evans1940s |
The 1940s Home (Shire Library) above is good summing up of the contents.
Despite the size the photo content is impressive. There are well chosen photos of houses and excellent ones of furniture and electrical appliances, though the few ads included are rather too small to read the copy.
Any book about British social life of the period will mention 'prefabs' Over 150,00 of these wonderful prefabricated single story homes were build between 1945 and 1949 and the best book I've found about them is Palaces for the People , with lots of photos and personal reminisces from the folk who lived in them, sometime for decades.
Both books do a good job of summing up British housing in the 1940s for the non-technical reader. If you just want to get a feel of life on the Home Front in Britain Robert Opies Wartime Scrapbook: From Blitz to Victory 1939-1945 can't be beat.
