For those that want to buy this book, numerous copies are available for a fixed price at www.half.com. You can get a hardcover without dust jacket for $6.28. Hardcover with dust jacket for $8.97. They have 50 paperback copies for $6.98. While the book is a classic, its recommendations are useless, being mainstream low-fat high carb. I would spend as little as possible to buy it. Don.
