WATSON, RUTH. — Fat Girl Slim. (Signed).

London: Quadrille, 2003. 184400046X. 1st edition. "The first diet book written by a cook and food writer who has managed to lose lots of weight while still enjoying her favourite foods. A true diet that really happened and which is honest about dieting as part of a food-lover's life. The only diet book that celebrates the sheer irresistibility of food rather than the worthiness of its nutritional content. Packed with 'been-there-done-it' advice and supportive information about the problems and pitfalls of dieting. Stunning photography shows the appeal of the recipes to everyone who loves good food as well as those who need to diet." 26cms x 20cms. Pp.192, colour photographs by Georgia Glynn Smith throughout, inscribed by the author "For Freddy and Murray with huge thanks, much love & no compulsion to do anything than read it. Ruth, December 2003") to title page. Paperback, slightly rubbed. VG.
