Description

This is a laugh-out-loud collection of essays on aging and the lengths to which Nora Ephron and many other women go to hide their years and look younger. In one essay, Ephron gives us a peek into her medicine cabinet and its vast array of lotions and potions, so it seemed fitting that the title of the book should be printed on a jar of high-end moisturizer.

Juror Notes

“Long title is well presented on a bottle offering a remedy. Bright color and raised letters of author’s name complete this very graphic presentation.”
