About this book
Journalist Alex Kuczynski investigates America's appetite for cosmetic enhancement, from everyday beauty routines to expensive and increasingly elaborate procedures. Encounters with patients and practitioners illuminate the pressures, promises and commercial interests behind the pursuit of an ideal appearance. Combining reporting with sharp social observation, the book explores beauty culture, ageing and the desire to remake the body.

A: Each book is individually priced based on its current market value, condition, and availability. Most of our books are collectable, vintage, many are hard to find in the 'wild'. We use actual 'sold' prices as a benchmark (Trademe, Ebay & Dunbar Slone) We try to price below market average to encourage people to start to resell books as a side hustle! We love to do bulk deals, just drop us a message!
