And I Thought "What's Your Sign?" Died in the late '60s, early '70s!

Even today, all of these years later, it clearly is still of sufficient interest to make such as these on line.  "Wine By Your Sign"  Antique jewelry made up of brooches or pins such as the Crab, arrow for Sagittarius and wearing apparel (sweatshirts and tees) on Etsy and so forth.

I can remember my well-thumbed copy of "Linda Goodman's Sun Signs," and consulting with my posse (Crazy Suzanne, Louise the Tease, Patty the Lawyer all cherishing their equally well-worn copies) about details, guys and a great deal more.  We had them sorted into bed ability based on their sign!  Helped us avoid many a bum steer.  (Pun)  We blessed Linda Goodman

What brings this up? you ask quizzically. Yet another of Richie's laundry day forages in the garage junk after which, he often presents me proudly with a particular "find."  Yesterday brought me "The Way To A Man's Heart Is Through His Capricorn" by Peggy Holt.  Available at Amazon  It was published in 1970 and the paperback cost $1.95 (!)

But back to Linda's "Sun Signs" - new it is listed at $270 and was published in 1968.

Meanwhile Holt's book "Via the Capricorn" has been retitled- "The Lovers Astrology Cook Book"  and sells for $14

.The book contains a brief precis of the sign listed and a pair of recipes that will have him eating whatever from  the palm of your hand.  Or so it purports.

We shall see tomorrow when I will steal, er, liberate,  a sample or three for you.  In these days of PC Mania, the recipes should be gender free and not subject to sexism re male or female diners.
