From the beginning of the 19C Cape Town and the Boland were swamped with imported furniture. For physical and financial reasons the Cape country districts escaped this fate for almost three generations: and during the this period developed the wealth of style and variety of design described in this absorbing book." ; Thin 4to 11" - 13" tall; 286 pages; Signed by All Authors .

Boston: Small, Maynard & Company. Very Good+. 1917. Hardcover. An uncommon book, first published in 1912, this being the Authorized American Edition, revised and corrected by the author. It had a mixed reception on publication and reviewers describing it as "revolting", "unclean" and "Ugly and depressing", popular among authors at the time who considered it distinctive and a work of genius. The New York Evening Post said in a review - "It is not too much to say that The Good Girl is one of the top twenty best books by living American novelists". The writer Robert Aickman wrote of OSullivan that: The curious should try to find a copy of his novel, The Good Girl. The quest is difficult, but the product distinctive

John Held jnr was a very well-known cartoonist of the time, but ultimately George Macy was not entirely happy with his contribution, he had the following to say in Quarto-Millenary; "This was a 'stunt', to turn America's…
