Most of the purchasers of this book are likely to be sexually confident, attractive go-getters for whom grief is merely an abstraction ... hence they are hoping to find something which will briefly titillate or amuse them, fashionably enhance their 'look', or add to their 'nowness', and they have certainly made the right choice, for the comic strip medium which it employs holds no hope of ever expressing anything but the meanest and most shallow of sentiments. Indeed the book need not be read at all, but simply placed on display as a symbol of one's youthful exuberance, like a flashy motorcar, or the music of the American South, performed by an aristocrat.
