Infos

"e;This fascinating and enjoyable book tells the story of around 200 brand names, delving succinctly into their origins and fortunes over time"e; (Your Family History). Many brands, including Boots, Hoover, and Kelloggs, were named after their founders whilst others have less obvious origins; for instance, did you know that Velcro comes from velours and crochet, the French words for "e;velvet"e; and "e;hook?"e; This entertaining book by Kathy Martin explores the stories behind the brands, their names, and their founders. Bursting with fascinating facts and period advertising, this must-read book will appeal to everyone interested in advertising, social history, food, and famous names. "e;A well-written, slightly idiosyncratic and thoroughly delightful book. That the author knows and loves her subject is very evident . . . It is likely to have wide appeal, and be of use to both Historians and Joe and Jane Public."e; NZ Crown Mines
