Description
About the Book
Diane Trilling’s book about the “Diet Doc” murder is engrossing and informative. She really has a great understanding of the appalling relationship of Herman Tarnower (The Scarsdale “Diet Doctor”) and Jean Harris. Both Tarnower and Harris are depicted as they really were: a pair of unlikeable, emotionally crippled snobs who deserved each other. Trilling also gives the reader a great view of the trial, the testimony, the witnesses and Harris’s disastrous testimony.

Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, create a custom-made cardboard box to ship it in, and send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a two-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
