Overview

Why is chocolate so seductive? What, exactly, is a teddy? How do you say "I love you" in Swahili? Love Notes, the enchanting sequel to the authors' popular Crib Notes, assembles decadent trivia and alluring facts on love, romance, and the affairs of the heart. Famous Vegas weddings, James Bond come-on lines, country songs of lovin', the meaning of body piercings, the recipe for a champagne cocktail, nicknames for the nether regions, and other trivial pleasures all find their way into the pages of this playful, illustrated collection. Useful, useless, and always fascinating, Love Notes is a delightful, diverting gift and the perfect bedside companion.

Just in time for Valentine's Day comes this delightful little book by writing team Maniatis and Elizabeth Weil (Crib Notes: A Random Reference for the Modern Parent). Together with Natasha Bondy, a BBC director/producer, they have assembled an array of interesting trivia and appealing facts on love, romance, and affairs of the heart. Included are a glossary of lingerie, a sample prenuptial agreement, a listing of love poems and the best romantic movies of all time, and instructions for saying "I love you" in 44 languages. Not to be missed is the "A to Z of Aphrodisiacs." Great fun for all libraries. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
