5.0 out of 5 stars Better and newer than I thought, March 15, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Art of Living Well: Looking Good, Feeling Great (Hardcover)
I bought this book used through Amazon and it arrived quickly for media post to Alaska. When I opened it, I realized that this book was a much newer one than I thought. Without reading too much about the book I thought it was done in the 90's. A lot of the information is therefore very relavant to todays world. The cover and pictures are done quite well. It is well written and gives you good information with a peek into her world. There are some very tasty recipes from top restaurants that I will be trying shortly. The book gave information on eating, working out, being strong, presenting yourself and beauty. Overall, very well rounded. I recommend this book and I have already ordered some of her others.
