Adult Braces In a Gourmet World
A consumer’s guide to Straight Teeth
Strindlund
1988
This is yet another book title that I just can’t believe someone said was worthy of publishing! How much can you really say about straight teeth? I guess I should actually read it and find out. I really wish I had circulation data on this type of thing. Okay, so maybe this library had a really big interest in teeth, but why didn’t they weed it after about 5 or 6 years? Anything marketed as a consumer’s guide is going to be automatically time sensitive. Isn’t this a bit “long in the tooth”? Sorry, I couldn’t resist!

What does “gourmet” have to do with it? You want to get a better class of food stuck in your braces?

Braces were made out of wood and string back then

It’s only been 21 years, what can have changed since then?

Ironically, I just got braces this week, and this book was published the FIRST time that I had them! (Moral of the story: wear your retainers.)

I had braces in 1988 and can’t figure out what good that book would have done me even then.
It seems like books like this (and the others on this site) are all our library has been receiving lately as far as donations go. I guess all the good books are going to the bookstores now since they do buy backs.

Sam- don’t you love when people come in with books and say “it isn’t good/it’s out of date/I don’t like it and then say “here, it’s a donation”?
Haha, yeah, I had braces for 7 years, and this wouldn’t have made any one of them better. Memo to all with braces, floss and then wear your retainers!
