Exploring the evolution of packaging throughout history with an eye to the profound and absurd, a cultural critic describes the exploits of hucksters, psychologists, and engineers who have made the modern American package a dominant form of commercialism.

Industry reviews
"For all those who have ever felt a deep attraction to a flacon of perfume, or found late-night solace in the familiar shape of a diner's ketchup bottle, Thomas Hines (sic) has written a history both rigorous and passionate."

You are bidding on "The Total Package" the evolution and secret meanings of boxes, bottles, cans, and tubes, by Thomas Hine, 1995, 289 pages, hardback with dustjacket in good condition except it was a library book with all the markings.

An exploration of the way modern packages play on our deepest fears and desires to sell us germ-killing soap or high-profile vodka. The author surveys packaging throughout history, exploring how advances in bottles, cans, and boxes have remade products, stores, and modern life.

A fascinating look at the unexpected meanings hidden in the most familiar boxes, bottles, cans, and tubes found in every home. The author decodes their secret language in a lively narrative revealing the way we sell our products and ourselves, and changing forever the way we see our increasingly packaged world.

High bidder to pay $3.00 s/h, includes tracking number. I am happy to combine shipping. Thank you and good luck.
