11" x 8"

Profusely illustrated with black-and-white line drawings plus a quadruple page fold-out between pages 80 and 81. "Not long ago, Eric Sloane was exploring an ancient house and came upon a small, leather-bound, wood-backed volume bearing the flyleaf inscription: "NOAH BLAKE, my book, March the twenty fifth, Year of Our Lord 1805, Given to me by my Father Isaak Blake and my Mother Rachel upon the fifteenth year of my life." Eric Sloane became fascinated by the diary, in which Noah Blake kept an account of daily activities on his father's farm. In March, Noah helped to fell an oak tree for a "good wood floor" to take the place of the hard earth which had to be pounded and swept smooth every day. For a week in April, Noah worked at maple-sugaring; the rest of the month was devoted to nail-making (which was his father's trade), building a new bridge across Red Man Brook, and spring plowing. On Rogation Sunday, in mid-May, Noah and his family followed the custom of walking the boundaries of their property, both to give thanks and to take inventory. While Noah Blake made note of his chores and of his "social activities," he did not, of course, describe in detail the house he lived in, the methods and implements he used to accomplish his work, or the reasons why certain customs were observed in his world. Eric Sloane therefore decided to fill in these details from his own knowledge of early American ways and tools, and to illustrate, with his superb pen-and-ink drawings, what the farm looked like, how things were done, and what they were done with. The result is an intriguing combination of elements - quotations from Noah Blake's diary, Eric Sloane's descriptions of nail-making, bridge-building, shingle-splitting, and other everyday occupations of a century and a half ago, nearly a hundred illustrations -which bring the year 1805, and Noah Blake, to life again for us."

Pleasantly surprised
I’m two jars in and love it. I do use Botox, retinol, a good face wash, wash moisturize twice daily, etc etc. I struggle with moisturizer because I’m prone to breakouts. Idk what it is about this one but my skin loves it. It feels refreshed and soft. Added bonus, my eyebrows and lashes have gotten longer and darker quick! Obviously we all respond differently to products but I’ll be keeping this in my rotation

A thick and rich cream that smooths on nicely!
So I jumped on the Korean skincare bandwagon and decided to purchase some of the DR MELAXIN Products to try! I read many good reviews and decided it was worth the money. This first product is the Dr Melaxin Calcium cemenrete calcium volume cream. It comes in a 1.76 ounce glass jar. On the label there is a lot of word descriptions so I will add a few: Ex volume firming, rebornic 10,000 ppm hydrolyzed elastin and collagen extract. I have photographed label for viewing. The directions indicate to "apply a small amount of cream onto your face especially around the under-eye area". I found the cream thick and rich and I used it in addition to another Dr Melaxin neck and face product so I concentrated on only neck and under eye area. It is neutral in scent and is very thick so it feels like it is absorbing nicely. I have been using it for about a month now and have definitely noticed some improvement in the neck area so i will continue to use and layer with other products. I do recommend this line as the ingredients seem effective so far!

Good product for face.
Great product. Works well with decreasing lines in face after half is used and with the serum. It does leave somewhat of a sticky (not grimy) texture which is uncomfortable if using at night.

Loose under eye skin tightened and brightened!
I love this cream! It makes a huge difference in the strength of the skin under my eyes and smooths the look and feel of the wrinkled skin under my eyes. It brightens my under eye circles. I gave 4 stars because if you use too much it will start to roll off almost like skin does when it sheds or when you exfoliate. I use less now and it’s perfect.
