PRAISE FOR LESLEY M. M. BLUME AND LET’S BRING BACK

A tongue-in-cheek sparkler of an encyclopedia. Upon reading, you may find yourself in the kitchen, dressed in a silk lap robe and glamour slippers, stirring up a Tipsy Parson that would make Tallulah Bankhead proud.

W MAGAZINE

A humorous ode to preservation and the art of rediscovery. Heartily recommended.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

Whimsical … comical … delightful … Blume’s book is about more than just populating your life with antique trinkets; it’s about curating your own charming lifestyle while celebrating the Wildean ideals of life as art.

THE NEW YORKER

If you’re feeling lousy and you read this book, it awakens you to things that have made you happy in your life. It reminds you of a time when certain things, ideas, gestures got you through. [Let’s Bring Back] promotes and revels in an idea of life that’s lived in 3-D, not 2-D, a life lived civicly and civil-y. And that is a very wonderful thing.

SALLY SINGER, Editor, T: THE NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE

Elegant … whimsical … As Blume herself might put it, we just think this book is the bee’s knees.

O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE

Wistful … zeitgeisty … charming … Let’s Bring Back is like a stroll down memory lane. Whether you’d carry a parasol down 5th Avenue or plop it in your caipirinha there’s something for everyone.

ELLE

A charming slip of a book … that quite deliciously and convincingly has the romantics among us pining for the ways of the dearly held past.
