5 editions published in 2009 in Anglais and held by 661 libraries worldwide
Joan Rivers is one of the few celebrities unafraid to admit what she's "had done" to keep looking so great. Now, she gives women straight-talking advice on better living through looking better. Informed by the country's top plastic surgeons, she takes the mystery out of cosmetic surgery, taking you step-by-step through the entire process, from finding the right doctor to the bruising truth about recovery and the facts about cosmetic surgery's very real risks. But don't worry--there's dish, too. This book is rife with Hollywood gossip about who's done what and how often--and is filled with Rivers's personal anecdotes about life under the knife. This is a funny, frank, and genuinely passionate argument for a woman's right to do whatever it takes to be beautiful, to feel better about herself, and be happy.--From publisher description.

Valerie Frankel, like most women, has spent most of her conscious life on a diet, thinking about a diet, ignoring a diet, or failing on a diet. At age eleven, her mother put Val on her first weight-loss program. As a teen, she was enrolled in Weight Watchers (for which she invented creative ditching methods). As a young woman, her world felt right only when she was able to zip a certain pair of jeans. Not wanting to pass this legacy on to her own daughters, Valerie set out to cleanse herself of her obsession. Thin Is the New Happy is the true story of one woman's quest to exorcise her bad body-image demons, to uncover the truths behind what put them there, and to learn how to truly love herself. It's a poignant, hilarious, and all-out honest account of one woman's struggle with body image--the filter through which she's always seen the world--and the way she ultimately overcame it.--From publisher description.
