Whenever I see dates like this I do the math in my head almost on reflex.

Man, dad died at 43, that must have been heartbreaking. Makes me wonder about the story behind the author.

I wonder how out-of-date any information would be in that book. All of it?

So his dad liked boobs big whoop wanna fight about it?

Checked out the book on Internet Archives (linked in comments).

It all seems so nostalgic and free-spirited now. Was way before my time, but I've been to a few of those beaches. So many of them are so conventional now. Guessing people are way more uptight, but maybe also cognizant of the risks of skin cancer.

Bonus: 2/3 of the way in, a surprising amount of copy was spent on technical aspects of nude photography.

"To Pa, who taught me to appreciate a good titty".

Unexpected would be if it was dedicated to his Mom. His Dad must have been super proud.

I don’t get it. What’s the issue with the name?
