The proprietor has decorated the restaurant with lovely old books and even an "ancient" typewriter. There's bound to be a book of interest within reach from any seat in the restaurant.
Curiously, on our table was a book (rightmost), "The Psychology of Eating", by Lewis R. Wolberg, published in 1936. Relatively little good information was availablle on nutrition in those days. On page 189 Wolberg quotes Vance Thompson: "To a scientist there is nothing so trajic on earth than to see a fat man eating a potato".
