Dr. Mescal's Super Diet: Healthy & Easy Weight Loss Method Applied from Ancient Indian Medicine Book

This item is a Japanese softcover book titled "Dr. Mescal's Super Diet: Healthy & Easy Weight Loss Method Applied from Ancient Indian Medicine," authored by Dr. Akira Otsuki, a medical doctor and pharmacist. The book measures approximately 21 cm in height and 15 cm in width, typical for a paperback. The cover features a light pastel color palette with a central illustration of a stylized woman in an athletic pose, wearing a patterned yellow and blue one-piece swimsuit with a red belt. Her hair is braided, and she is adorned with bangles. Behind her, abstract light blue roses and a rainbow arc add a soft, artistic touch. The title is prominently displayed in large black Japanese characters at the top, with smaller explanatory text above it. The author's name is also in black. The bottom of the cover features a distinct red band with white text, "KOSAIDO BOOKS," indicating the publisher. The overall condition appears to be good for its age, with minor signs of handling such as slight corner wear visible on the bottom edge. There are no obvious tears, significant creases, or large stains. The paper seems to be a common publication-grade stock, contributing to its lightweight nature. The illustrative style suggests a publication from the late 20th century, possibly the 1980s or 1990s, aligning with the aesthetic of diet and fitness publications of that era. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced books, with the binding and cover printing being clean and legible.
