Clayton, David. Wake Up and Die, A Bedside Book of Hangovers. First Edition. 1952. Book is in very good condition; jacket is in good plus condition—jacket shows soiling, light fraying, and minor chipping.
This book, published only in the United Kingdom, sets out to do for hangovers what Dr. Kinsey did for sex. It scientifically analyzes what alcohol does to the brain, concluding, it causes unfunny stories to seem funny, enemies to be forgiven, and ugly women to become beautiful. It then offers an exhaustive but unverified list of hangover cures. With frequent b & w illustration. Uncommon.
“To-day, the word Hangover is fairly universal, and like juvenile delinquency and twin beds, most people blame it on Hollywood.”
--David Clayton
