I picked this up on a visit to my parents' house and found it to be interesting reading. Basically it is a book full of Reader's Digest articles from the 1940-50's. Many of the authors were famous people.(Dwight D Eisenhower "An Open Letter to America's Students", Gene Tunney "It's More Fun to Be Fit", Catherine Marshall "How I Learned to Conquer Grief", Dale Carnegie "Unquenchable Spirit: The Mark of a Man", Dr Albert Schweitzer "Your Second Job" to name a few). Good bathroom book. ( )
