THE BOOK OF YOU.

New York: Fawcett Columbine Book. VG+. Soft cover. (1992), xix, 4-313pp, index. Wrps. VG+. Paraphrased from the cover: "Every year human behavior experts conduct thousands of studies on what we believe, how we behave in every conceivable situation, and how others perceive us. Politicians, marketing specialists, and personnel departments, among others, use this information routinely. Here are a few examples of the type of interesting material found in this book: If you are a jogger, you tend to score higher in creativity than non-runners; If you are a fast talker, you're more likely to be judged credible than if you talk slowly; If you are a man seated next to a woman on an airliner, the odds are five to one that you will take the armrest between you - no questions asked; A six-foot man typically earns $4,200 more than a five-foot-five man in a comparable job-and each extra inch of height above six feet could be worth an additional $600 a year; If you're an American talking to a friend in a Gainesville, Florida, coffee shop, the two of you will touch each other about twice an hour; If you're Parisians in a cafe on the Champs Elysees, 110 times an hour; Puerto Ricans in a San Juan coffee shop, 180 times; Britons in a London pub, not at all." .
