it was a nice book, with great examples of the lengths we'll go through to be better, and i liked the tips - but i wanted more. if she actually put in more excerpts than covers it would have been a five-star book. oh well, i just deducted one!
Bought several for my friends - Great Book!

This is a terrific compilation of text and illustrations chronicling America's unending quest for personal perfection. As I read through it, I was constantly getting "nostalgia hits," as well as fascinating information on this fascinating subject. Ms. Trontz has clearly devoted much work to this book and struck the perfect balance between pictures and text. The book has a lot of "show," but a lot of "go", as well. I couldn't put it down. The copy at the center of my coffee table is dogearred, now, and I've bought many for my friends. It makes a very reasonable, appreciated gift. Highly recommended.
