Imagine putting covers such as that on your books:

Here's a description for one of his books:

We all know one hard and undeniable truth: Physical beauty comes with tremendous power, and tremendous benefits. Those who possess it are generally luckier in love, more likely to be popular, and more apt to get better grades in school. But very few of us realize just how much looks affect every aspect of our lives. Recent studies document that people blessed with good looks earn about 10% more than their average-looking colleagues. They are also more likely to get hired and promoted at work. What exactly is this "physical attractiveness" phenomenon and how does it affect each and every one of us?

Dr. Gordon L. Patzer has devoted the last 30 years to investigating this unsettling phenomenon for both women and men, and how it touches every part of our lives. In Looks, he reveals not only its impact on romance, but also on family dynamics, performance in school, career, courtroom proceedings, politics and government. Looks is the first book to explore how the power of beauty affects both sexes and how the rise of reality TV shows, cosmetic surgery, and celebrity culture have contributed to our culture's overall obsession with being beautiful.

Unflinching and topical, Looks uncovers the sometimes ugly truth about beauty and its profound effects on all of our lives.

If you're expecting to learn about how to be good looking, it isn't that. If you want to know about all the rampant lookism in society, then it's a good read. It is mostly common knowledge that you can find here though about how good looking people are treated like Gods.

Damn, just got the book and spent 40 mins reading, really well-written and brutal.
Even in ancient times it was all about the Physical Attraction, here are a few blackpill notes just in the beginning of the book, for anyone that is interested:

Pursuit of greater Physical Attraction has created a $160-billion-a-year global industry ranging from weight-loss preparations, cosmetics, skin and hair care, and perfumes to cosmetic surgery, health clubs, and hormone injections. Americans spend more money each year on beauty enhancements than they do on education. (btw keep in mind the book is written in 2008 so it's probably way more in 2020)

in the fourteenth century b.c., Egypt’s queen was Nefertiti, whose name means ‘‘the beautiful one is come.’’ Did she have other qualifications? Important family connections or diplomatic skills? Management expertise? From her name alone it’s obvious that few cared. Even Aristotle (384–322 b.c.), ancient Greece’s premier observer of human nature, recognized the importance of PA. ‘‘Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference,’’ he wrote.

In medieval times, affluent noblewomen swallowed arsenic or dabbed bat’s blood on their skin to improve their complexions. As recently as the eighteenth century, American women washed themselves in the warm urine of a young boy to erase their freckles.

PA in men is also acknowledged in the Bible:
Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. (Genesis 39:6)
[David is] . . . a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in
speech and a handsome person. (1 Samuel 16:12).
Now in all Israel there was no one who was praised as much as
Absalom for his good looks. (2 Samuel 14:25)
