How to Gain Weight in 1957

This was published in 1957 as part of a series on health and beauty by Joe Bonomo. I'll be sharing much more from him with you soon. But could you imagine something like this being published today for the general female population in America? Would anyone buy it?

I suppose many American women in the 50's were so good at staying trim that they needed to get expert advice with putting on the pounds!

  1. This is definitely a collector's item! I don't think anyone will be publishing anything like this ever again! Wow! Actually, if they ever do need help writing a book about how to gain weight, I'd be happy to help out! LOL! Can't wait for more details on this...

  2. Wow - I wish I had the "problem" of being so good at staying trim that I needed a book to help me gain weight!

  3. I could write that book with both hands tied behind my back (and a pastry in my mouth). :)

    Boy, those WERE the days!
