This is a funny and strange little book by the late Cookie Mueller. Using the framework of pimple prevention, Mueller writes great little character studies of various (fictional?) friends and how their lives are eventually marred by acne (complete with obviously doctored before and after photos). Oddly enough, the book actually has Mueller's secret cure for acne as its last chapter.
