Walt Whitman's Guide to Manly Health and Training

book is a blast! Illustration s a blast as well.

Nice little book looks nice on my shelf!

A very cute book with little tidbits of advice from the master poet himself. It is well designed and manufactured. Rather short and sweet, would make a good read for fun or to leave around for guests. Very cute.

Bought this as a gift for my brother, who loves taking little quotables from respected authors. This is not a handbook to read cover to cover - it's more like a coffee table book with nice typography and interesting designs around some select quotes. If you really want to read Whitman seriously, this is not the book for you. But if you want something pretty to look at and maybe quote at a party, then yeah, sure.

Whitman the wordsmith does a fine job here, with insightful and often humorous tips to live a good, clean life. Practical, everyday guidelines. Enjoyable read.

This book was what I expected. Funny how his ideas on exercise match current thinking.

I love this "book." It's great to pick up and read every now and then for a little motivation.

A gift, loved by recipient (a 75 year old Grandpa)

My fault. Although it would be good if the product description was clearer. I failed to read the small print. This book comprises 'choice extracts' which means you get a tiny amount of Whitman and a great deal of designer/illustrator overkill. The book is almost irrelevant if you want to read Whitman's writings on this subject. It's a novelty book for the bathroom, or charity shop.

What a treasure. This collection of sage and 'manly' advice is humorous but at the same time it reflects centuries-old fundamentals of healthy eating and living. Plus we can imagine everyone as hipsters with beards and vaguely resembling Paul Bunyan ... singing and declaiming poetry while striding over the hills

Gift for my stepdad. He loved it and the advice is great
