About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

As hemlines rise this year women will no doubt experiencereinforced by works such as thisrenewed self-consciousness about their legs. Lanctot, a founder of clinics for the care of legs, here presents a timely manual that proffers stale advice on the improvement of these limbs. The author dubiously maintains that the yearning for "great legs" is not "a matter of mere vanity" but that "legs reflect our overall physical and, often, psychological condition. If we're unhappy about our legs, we're likely to be unhappy with ourselves." The book provides a diagnostic check list to help assess "great legs goals." This "great legs profile" claims to impart a better understanding of a reader's legs, yet it provides little accompanying analysis or commentary. The work also includes fashion tips and information on diet, exercise, hair removal, leg anatomy, massage and surgery.
