Description

Worn green cloth cover with light stains, fraying and tears on corners and spine. Age-toned endpapers and toning to some pages; slightly loose binding. 6"w x 8 1/8"h. 134 pages. Charming black and white drawings of young woman doing her exercises. Some pencil marking (weight chart filled in). "Today the body that is considered beautiful is lined down to its essentials. It carries a minimum of fatty tissue. It is, primarily, a figure of bone and muscle over which a silken skin stretches in taut perfection. Only a pliant cushion of soft, lean muscle softens its contour."
