Tea Share Manual

Tea Share Manual (1939) by Louis G. Stephens – Sold by Crappy Old Books

Ever wondered how to run a community tea scheme with all the ruthless efficiency of a 1930s bureaucrat? Tea Share Manual (1939) by Louis G. Stephens is the definitive guide you never knew you needed. Published on the eve of global upheaval, this generous volume lays out the logistics, etiquette, and social philosophy behind the noble art of equitable tea distribution.

Written in the earnest, clipped tone of someone who probably owned more clipboards than friends, Stephens offers a startlingly detailed look at rota systems, contribution protocols, and what to do when Doris forgets the milk (again). Ideal for village halls, office break rooms, company meetins, or anyone planning to organise a resistance movement around a teapot.

Condition: Smells faintly of linoleum and over-boiled leaves. Marginalia includes a 1940s doodle of a kettle and one bitter note: “Tea was cold, spirits colder.”

Crappy Old Books – because sometimes history brews up something truly weird.

Has RNB written on cover, but ANB written on the page ends. Really good condition, essential if you need to know all the tea companies that operated in 1939.
