"Clearly I look the best, and here's how to look like me!" Style self-help books for aging Boomers and Gen-Xers are conspicuous on every bookstore shelf nowadays - Amazon alone has over 3500. I've read about 10 myself, from different authors, and gotten some good fashion and style advice. Charla Krupp's new book, "How Not to Look Old," purports to show those of us over 40 how to drop 10 years and 10 pounds in 10 minutes just by following her advice.

A really good book about looking younger I was pleasantely suprised that this book delivered what it said it would on the cover. It is about attitude, but also about how you dress, act and what you put on your face. The author explains it all. I have recommend this to others and they too have seen results. Another good book I'd suggest: Stop the Age Clock: Look 20 Years Younger, 20 Pounds Lighter and 200% Prettier in Only 20 Days Together, both books have worked wonders for my life!
