This bible of the physically insecure now shares its popularity with dozens of other reference works, among them Be Young with Yoga, Jogging and Sexercises (which promises to refine the sexual performance of both genders). A U.S. Government pamphlet on Adult Physical Fitness has sold 750,000 copies, without benefit of advertising, since 1963. By the tens of millions...
