From the back cover:
The practical guide that's guaranteed to take the guilt out of standing - or sitting - idly by.
Vic Ziegel and Lewis Grossberger are the pseudonyms of a pair of rich and successful sneaker manufacturers who frankly are ashamed of the social and physical ills they have caused by conspiring to make running fashionable as a means of boosting world sneaker sales. Writing this book was their way of atoning for the damage they've done and of preventing further harm from coming to future generations.
A paperback from 1978 containing a sort of sports humor which I suspect may be a bit outdated today, although as a non-runner myself (my legs can't handle running; I do walk quite a bit) the title does strike a chord. Found in the book-excange shelf of the local public library.
Oh, and there's a 1978 review of the book from Sports Illustrated online.
P.s. I just realized this was the 900th book registered by me :-)

HI ! If I do remember right , we found this book in Split/Croatia during our Balkan road trip in 2014. We took it home to Munich.
Finally, I gave it to an open bookcase in Munich/Nordbad.
