[Diet] Geyer, Celesta 'Dolly Dimples.' (1901 - 1982) [& Samuel Roen]. Diet or Die. The Dolly Dimples Weight Reducing Plan. - SIGNED. New York: Frederick Fell, Inc. . 1968. First.
Hardcover volume, inscribed on the ffe "Best Wishes To Barbara / A Darling Person / From / (Dolly Dimples) / Celesta Geyer / Oct 16, 1968." 239 pp. Red cloth in dj with wear and small tears along upper and lower edge and two pages with printer/binding errors (p. 107, 117) each with partial printing and strangely folded, else fine. The graphically striking cover showing the smiling face of Dolly Dimples, a woman who’d lost 440 pounds after working as a “Fat Lady” in a carnival side show from 1927 to 1950. She had been recently recognized by Guinness Book of World Records as having lost the greatest amount of weight in the shortest period of time. Very scarce volume.
A page-turner, the story of a fascinating life and an inspiring project of weight loss which was an amazing feat — all of it shed in just fourteen months. One of the most amazing parts of the book is her richly detailed descriptions of her mother’s traditional German cooking and what her daily meals consisted of before she began her famous weight loss journey.
