I got a phone call today from a woman in Los Angeles who had some questions about the theory behind the Shangri-La Diet. It was an unusual book, she said.
“What did you like about it?” I asked.
“The cover. It’s warm and inviting,” she said.
I said that was the publisher’s doing, not mine. She also said that it was unusual in that it paid attention to how much things cost. Most diet books don’t, she said. I think my mom would be pleased to hear that.
