From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Suzy Gershman (April 13, 1948 – July 25, 2012) was an American writer who authored sixteen "Born to Shop" guidebooks over the course of twenty-six years, beginning in 1986.[1][2] Her travel guides, which covered the shopping scenes in counties and cities, including Paris and New York, had sold more than four million copies as of 2012.[1] At the time of her death, six guidebooks were revised and republished every two years: France, Hong Kong, Italy, London, Paris, and New York City.[1]
Gershman's diet book How To Take 20 Pounds Off Your Man was featured in a "Diet Book Club Deep Dive" on the podcast Maintenance Phase, co-hosted by Aubrey Gordon and former You're Wrong About host Michael Hobbes.[3] The podcast called the book "a manual for creep behavior masquerading as a diet book".[3]
