An exciting addition to our popular Cyclopedia series, this compact paperback reference is a veritable almanac of facts on a theme that's close to everyone's heart. Portable and comprehensive, it's an engrossing compendium of information in the form of charts, lists, sidebars, poems, famous love letters, and much more. Our Love Cyclopedia is not a self-help book, but rather a delightful, wide-ranging cultural exploration of passion and desire. From Shakespeare's sonnets to a list of the all-time best slow-dance songs, from romantic film trivia to courtship rituals around the world, this is a charming book with something for everyone.
The personal stories were quite fascinating. The quotes were good. Also the facts they included in the book were informative. There were parts that were really enjoyable yet there are some that aren't. For instance, the classic poems cause I usually have a hard time comprehending. They weren't bad tho, I just suck at it.
For such a small book, it has LOTS of info inside. I found several of the quotes amusing, I am keeping some of the recipes (Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies!!!) and just one of the definitions struck me as amusing...
