Richard L. Frey - How to Play Canasta
Novel Library 43, 1950
Cover design uncredited
The game of Canasta was devised by Segundo Santos and Alberto Serrato in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1939. In the 1940s the game quickly spread in myriad variations to Chile, Peru, Brazil and Argentina, where its rules were further refined before being introduced to the United States in 1948. It was there referred to as the Argentine Rummy game by Ottilie H. Reilly in 1949 and Michael Scully of Coronet magazine in 1953. The game quickly became a card-craze boom in the 1950s providing a sales avalanche of card sets, card trays and books about the subject. (Wikipedia)
About half of the Novel Library series was devoted to "Love Novels," a category of spicy romances pioneered by the Depression-era Lending Library publishers. Most of the remainder comprised sensational novels from the 1930's and 40's plus a few lurid "hardboiled" mysteries, all with the same sexy packaging that gives the imprint a uniform veneer of sleaziness. The inclusion of the canasta book is inexplicable.
I embraced & collected self-help manuals like others collect CDs. I collected every bit of self-help advice available. All of it. The book shelves grew & buckled. I took notes, summarised them, designed them, framed them, made books of them (for home use & the convenient pocket sized). Each part of practical & spiritual (broadly defined) life was catered for. I took courses on this & that practice, sat in parks & woods, flew kites, rolled down hills & kicked through puddles. I published a few pieces, helped out with some design work, prepared for 'real' work thinking of all the people I could now be.
HOW TO DO IT
As you walk, try to notice as many positive things around you as you can. These can be sights, sounds, smells, or other sensations. For example, you could focus on the breathtaking height of a tree you never really noticed before, the intricate architecture of a building on your block, the dance of sunshine off a window or puddle, the smell of grass or flowers, or the way other people look out for each other as they navigate crowded streets.
As you notice each of these positive things, acknowledge each one in your mind—don’t just let them slip past you. Pause for a moment as you hear or see each thing and make sure it registers with your conscious awareness, really take it in. Try to identify what it is about that thing that makes it pleasurable to you.
Try to walk a different route each day so you don’t become too accustomed to any of these things and start to take them for granted.
WHY YOU SHOULD TRY IT
In our daily lives, we don’t always notice or acknowledge the pleasant and positive things around us. We may be in a rush, distracted by other thoughts, or busy checking our phones. As a result, we miss opportunities for positive experiences and positive emotions—the building blocks of long-term happiness.
Research suggests that we can maximize the benefits of the good things around us by consciously savoring them rather than letting them pass us by or taking them for granted. This exercise offers one basic way to start savoring the bounty of goodness around us—not by going to some exotic destination but by paying more careful attention to the sights, smells, and sounds we often neglect.
EVIDENCE THAT IT WORKS
Participants who were encouraged to maintain a positive focus during daily walks for one week reported a greater increase in happiness at the end of the week, compared to participants who were encouraged to maintain a negative or neutral focus during their walks.
WHY IT WORKS
Taking the time to “stop and smell the roses”—what researchers call “savoring”—can enhance happiness and boost feelings of appreciation and gratitude. Savoring helps us deepen the impact that positive events have on our emotional lives—rather than just slipping from our awareness, or failing to register in the first place, these events sink into our minds and stay with us long after they are over. By becoming more attuned to our surroundings, we may also be more likely to connect with the people around us, even if it’s just to share a smile

Photo 5/52 - Week 5, 2011.
Time passes and Danbo finally realises she cannot stay angry forever. Listening to her friends' advice, she reads self help books to move her life forward, to regain the confidence that was shattered the day she saw the taller Danbo. Along the way she also decides to exercise away some of the "fat" she accumulated during her Gluttony phase.
"In almost every list Pride (Latin, superbia), or hubris, is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and the source of the others. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God). Dante's definition was 'love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbour.'" - Wikipedia.
This is the fifth photo in the series of Danbo and the Seven Deadly Sins. The first is Envy, the second is Sloth, the third is Gluttony and the fourth is Wrath.
I have had the basics of this one in my head for a while, the marshmellow props has always been there but it was not quite enough for the shot. But the other night over dinner I was thinking about it when I remember a comment left on one of the photos and the light went on in my head. Thanks : Elizabeth :!
So every spare moment I had this week I was making up these little books. They are a combination of computer work and hand drawings. The one I am most proud of is the "Self Esteem for Danbos" as I emulated the cover of the "for Dummies" guides and it took a lot of effort to get the fonts, colour and layout right.
Thank you everyone for the comments. Things have been super hectic here and I am also celebrating Chinese New Year.
Betty White - Teen-Age Dance Book
Perma Books M4123, 1958
Cover Design: Paul Bacon
"A gay and streamlined guide to modern dancing."
Kevin got this book for Christmas. (Thanks, Nick ;)
I have to share a couple of my favourite excerpts:
WHAT DO NORMAL WOMEN WANT?
"Let's take a look at what white women want from a relationship. She will be asking 'What's in this for me?' Most normal women ask these question in a relationship, although the priority and order of the answers may be different depending on the psychological makeup of that woman. Generally, traits women are looking for and want in a partner are marriage, children, friends, humor, kindness, romance, warmth, intelligence, materialism, gifts, attention, affection, kindness, sex, and thoughtfulness."
['materialism'? haha. I love the order of things women want.]
MENTAL PROGRAMMING: TO DATE A WHITE WOMAN
- Define long-term goals
- State short-term objectives: What type of image do you want to project?
- The what and how should be in harmony with the targeted white woman you have in mind
- Set dating strategies to project your availability and image
- Analyze available physical positive assets (good looks, body type,) and resources (time, money).
- Gather the white woman's personal data
- Keep a diary, take notes, and review plans.
"There are also many white women who are the shy, introverted type, and this shyness is often one of the reasons that they choose an Asian man, who is generally less aggressive, and more smart, considerate and intelligent"
['more smart'? ;]
A 1966 book designed to help you trick yourself into being a better bowler. The book is in rough shape. I am hoping to use self-hypnosis to find a better copy/ better clean up this one.
Sometime between 1983 & 1995 I became an alcoholic. The reasons why are many & various & took a long time to recognise, ignore, acknowledge, obfuscate, avoid &, when the money ran out (mine & my neighbour's), seek treatment. Prior to 'the seeking of treatment' I had lived a number of lives in education as teacher, project manager & advisor. Briefly I had plugged a finger in the hole of the collapsing dam by writing & publishing. In all these careers I was successful but my drinking was a triumph.
