Beschreibung

(London: George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd. 1935). First UK Edition. Publisher's black boards with gilt lettering to the spine. Green end-papers. Blue top-edge. A VG++ copy with the former owner's neat name B. B. Lloyd stamped to the front paste-down. In the RARE VG dustwrapper priced 8/6 net to the inside flap (as called for). The dustwrapper is browned to the spine, rubbed to the spine edges and with minor loss at the spine ends (not affecting any lettering). William Howard Hay (1866-1940) was the inventor of the "The Hay Diet". He was a New York physician who created a plan that prohibited the consumption of starches and proteins during the same meal. William Howard Hay began developing the food-combining diet in 1904 to treat himself for medical conditions including a dilated heart. He lost 50 (22.7 kilograms) pounds in approximately three months and recovered from the conditions. This copy has an interesting provenance. It was part of the private collection of the late Dr. Brian Beynon Lloyd (1920-2010) Emeritus Fellow of Magdalen College Oxford and former Chairman of the Health Education Council. He lectured at Oxford for two decades and was an adviser to Sir Roger Bannister on nutrition helping him to break the four minute barrier for the mile. He was appointed a CBE in 1983 for his pioneering work in highlighting the dangers of smoking. He was also Director of the International Nutrition Federation. He was a friend of both J R R Tolkien and C S Lewis. A scarce book and inexplicably uncommon in its original dustwrapper. Photographs/scans available upon request.
