Whenever I see dates like this I do the math in my head almost on reflex.
Man, dad died at 43, that must have been heartbreaking. Makes me wonder about the story behind the author.

I wonder how out-of-date any information would be in that book. All of it?
It was published in 1985, so probably most of it is out of date. But the boobs are top notch - see my other comment for pics.
Edit: my husband plans on selling it for $20 on eBay. So we get to see boobs and make a profit. Win win.
Edit #2: It’s apparently not worth much. So it’s trash now.
If you want to check how accurate it is, you can do some googling:
You can't say boobs and then not post them
Tap for BOOBS (NSFW)
Tap for PEEN (NSFW)
The last photo in the "boobs" category looks like a mother and daughter, and I just wanted to point out that skin-contact hugs and cuddles as pictured there are massively beneficial, e.g for bonding and self-image, but I think a lot of non-nudists overlook this. (Maybe they're uncomfortable with that level of closeness)
So take this as a PSA to give your loved ones a hug today, even if it's a naked one! Nudity doesn't have to be sexual.
Yeeeeeees
Nice.
Nice boobs you got there.

They're hoarding the boobs for profit. What a sad world we live in 😢
It's on the internet archive!

'preview only. Borrow with free account' 'borrow unavailable' They are teasing me.
I think that means someone else has it borrowed, and you'll have to wait until they... finish.
wait, i thought there was one up in marin county too
There are (were?) a few, I just didn’t post the full contents. Here you go:
Okay I am impressed they got the Sonoma community in there I was convinced they would have missed them and I was going to use that as my well acktually
Only one way to find out and you don't need anything to test it.
So his dad liked boobs big whoop wanna fight about it?
i mean, sure. fistfight or traditional titty twistoff?
Checked out the book on Internet Archives (linked in comments).
It all seems so nostalgic and free-spirited now. Was way before my time, but I've been to a few of those beaches. So many of them are so conventional now. Guessing people are way more uptight, but maybe also cognizant of the risks of skin cancer.
Bonus: 2/3 of the way in, a surprising amount of copy was spent on technical aspects of nude photography.
I doubt a bikini is going to do a lot of protection against skin cancer..
"To Pa, who taught me to appreciate a good titty".
I don’t get it. What’s the issue with the name?
Nothing wrong with the name - I just thought it was humorous to dedicate a book filled with boobs to your dad (who passed 20 years before the book was even published).
Unexpected would be if it was dedicated to his Mom. His Dad must have been super proud.
