Try This for Better Sex, and Other Stories From the How-to Guru (Volume 1)

What did Fabio, Joan Collins, Morgan Fairchild and Magic Johnson all have in common? They all appeared in how-to videos in the rollicking early days of home video. And even better, they were all skewered in reviews by the How-to Guru, Premiere magazine's sharp-tongued video critic. As lovers of Premiere's award-winning movie and video coverage knew, the Guru took no prisoners! This is a collection of over 25 humorous essays taken straight from the pages of Premiere and written by Jim Gullo, the How-to Guru from 1989 to 1995. These short, delicious pieces will make you laugh out loud as the Guru sends up everything from Fabio's exercise tape to tapes on how to win at Texas Hold 'Em poker and (come on, man!) even how to dance at your wedding. And, of course, in the title essay the Guru addresses the age-old question of how to have better sex, as drooled over in a three-part video series. Besides writing as the Guru, Gullo also wrote several comic stories from movie sets for Premiere, several of which are included in this book. Want to know what it was like to be Freddy Krueger's personal publicist? Or how Gullo got action hero Jean-Claude Van Damme to kick him in the face? How about the real truth behind dolphins appearing in movies, written straight from the set of Flipper? It's all here in TRY THIS FOR BETTER SEX, a hilarious collection of stories and observations from the golden days of home video. "I love this book: The Guru rocks some of the funniest writing ever about videos." -- Eric Estrin, editor of www.moviesmackdown.com
