Love is always a best-selling subject. This engaging little hardback book makes an ideal gift not only for special occasions, such as Valentine's Day, but all year round. The light-hearted, contemporary illustrations will appeal to consumers from late teens upwards. The quotations are taken from a wide variety of sources, including modern films and literary classics, and range from sweet and slushy to cheeky, worldly-wise and cynical. "Women were brought up to believe that men were the answer. They weren't. They weren't even one of the questions." Julian Barnes " 'I will love you for ever,' swears the poet. I find this easy to swear too. 'I will love you at 4.15 p.m. next Tuesday': is that still as easy?" W.H. Auden "There are very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without encouragement." Jane Austen
