Just when women were ready to give up on their collective quest for the perfect man, he surfaced in 1989. That year, The Perfect Man began as a successful poster series. Since then it's grown into a megasuccessful, multiproduct franchise that has sprung everything from mugs, key chains, and stickers to T-shirts, calendars, cookies, and now, for the first time, a hardcover book. This hilarious 96-page book features clever full-color photos topped with three surefire reasons why the man pictured is "the perfect man." "He's quiet. He's sweet. And if he gives you any grief, you can bite his head off." The Perfect Man-a gingerbread man. "He's young. He's cute. And he'll always come crawling back to you." This Perfect Man? Why, a baby, of course. "He's tall. He's thin. And if a cuter guy comes along, you can always leave him hanging." He's a hangman stick figure, alias the Perfect Man.

Alexandria, Renee and Danielle are three very different women with one thing in common: their late husband! Even a woman blessed with a genius IQ can make a dumb mistake, and for Renee Foster, marrying Marc was exactly that.

But Chris refuses to settle down—and Renee won't settle for less than she needs, even if that means walking away from the perfect man.…

A remarkable new work from one of our premier historians In his exciting new book, John F. Kasson examines the signs of crisis in American life a century ago, signs that new forces of modernity were affecting men's sense of who and what they really were. When the Prussian-born Eugene Sandow, an international vaudeville star and bodybuilder, toured the United States in the 1890s, Florenz Ziegfeld cannily presented him as the "Perfect Man," representing both an ancient ideal of manhood and a modern commodity extolling self-development and self-fulfillment. Then, when Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan swung down a vine into the public eye in 1912, the fantasy of a perfect white Anglo-Saxon male was taken further, escaping the confines of civilization but reasserting its values, beating his chest and bellowing his triumph to the world. With Harry Houdini, the dream of escape was literally embodied in spectacular performances in which he triumphed over every kind of threat to masculine integrity -- bondage, imprisonment, insanity, and death. Kasson's liberally illustrated and persuasively argued study analyzes the themes linking these figures and places them in their rich historical and cultural context. Concern with the white male body -- with exhibiting it and with
