Inside Front Cover Inscription:

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Allison - Of course I realize you are going to Germany and not France, but I remembered that you were following the Pritikin diet, and knowing the Germans, and their teutonic zeal for the low fat way of life, I thought you might venture into France at some point. This is a great guide for when you do. Merry Christmas & a safe voyage. Sarah Ziegler 1997
