Getting In Shape. An Optimum Approach to Fitness and Weight Control. Houghton-Mifflin, Boston, 1979. Out of print, probably because the publisher decided to put the authors on the cover!. Original printing was 25,000 copies. Bill and I went on a national tour, doing radio and television interviews. On one TV show in Minneaspolis, we followed a chimp who did tricks, while on another, the host had not read the book and wanted to know if we would presribe exercises on air for his bulging waist (We politely told him our book wasn't about spot reducing). We even did the 6AM Farm America broadcast in the midwest, and Radio interview at the Playboy Club in Chicago. In Dallas, the books had not yet been shipped to the bookstores. To make a long story short, the fitness boom had not quite gotten underway, and our brief 15 minutes attempt at fame and fortune fizzled. We did receive a wonderful review in the Los Angles Times, but they said our book would never be a "best-seller) due to the absence of HYPE! ("Fitness in 30 Minutes a Day had been number one in the non-fiction area--even though we thougt it belonged on the fiction list ). So much for our commercial books.
