Bundling : Its Origins, Progress and Decline in America by Henry Reed Stiles, Illustrated by Herb Roth,Peter Pauper Press, Mount Vernon, NY,  published circa 1947, with slipcase, hardcover, illustrated, condition: very good.


Bundling, or tarrying, is the traditional practice of wrapping a couple together in a bed, sometimes with a board between the two of them, usually as a part of courting behavior. The tradition is thought to have originated either in the Netherlands or in the British Isles and later became common in colonial United States, especially in Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Bundling is associated with the Amish as a form of courtship.
