“How to Catch a Man, How to Keep a Man, How to Get Rid of a Man” By Zsa Zsa Gabor

Some women sought advice on men. Zsa Zsa Gabor published hers. The glamorous actress and socialite made an art of the well-timed entrance, the devastating one-liner, and the occasional change of husband. In this deliciously irreverent 1970 book, she brings her considerable experience to the business of attraction, marriage, and knowing when to show a gentleman the door. The title alone suggests a woman who likes to keep her options open.

Part satirical advice manual, part performance by one of Hollywood’s most entertaining personalities, the book approaches romance with a worldly eye and a generous helping of mischief. Its pleasures lie in the combination of extravagant glamour, calculated charm, and refreshing unwillingness to take the whole affair too seriously. Here is the spirit of an era when celebrity demanded a little mystery – and a good quip could outlast a marriage.

A wonderfully cheeky addition to a bedside table, guest room, or collection of vintage Hollywood books. Give it to a friend with a sense of humor, or keep it within reach for those evenings when love calls for a second opinion.
