Regular price
$ 15.00
A collection of sixteen softcover booklets on various topics designed to increase health and combat the effects of aging, with a hardcover publisher's sleeve. The sleeve calls for 16 booklets covering 38 lessons - sixteen are present here, but lessons 24 & 25 (the ones covering sleep and other forms of rest) are not included. Unclear whether the set is incomplete, or whether the publisher's description is inaccurate. Hoolihan, though it does not specifically note this title, provides a lengthy biographical entry of Macfadden's career as a physical culture advocate championing various exercise and diet regimens, during which he also published controversial pulp magazines.
