This Fun-a-Day created zine contains selected visual and textual excerpts from nutrition and dietary advice books published between 1850 and 1950 that have been posted on the Internet Archive. Photographs of original book excerpts are presented in chronological order, along with the book's title, author, and publishing year. Topics include the fashionable quality of the radish; the care and feeding of children, convalescents, and women; and recipes for beef toast and clabbered milk. The back of the zine contains invented blurbs from Karl Rove, Adele, and Martha Stewart. The author, a research, metadata and zine librarian, provides her own Library of Congress Subject Headings.
