An early Planned Parenthood publication, offering common options for contraception for couples in 1950. Published primarily for family planning advisors and medical practitioners, but written in a concise and accessible way for the general public to understand as well. Includes detailed anatomical diagrams, explanations of how each method works, and effectiveness. Note the following inclusion in the foreword by a medical doctor, establishing birth control as a public health necessity above a personal decision: "Limitation of population is recognized as an urgent, continuing and universal necessity" (p. 2). Single vol. (10" by 7"), pp. 60, illus., in original printed wrps. Very good. Toned, minor dust soiling, a couple short tears. Modern paper repair to spine.
