Brilliant idea, brilliant execution. This book is so good that bookstores will surely have trouble keeping it in stock even beyond Valentine's Day. Feel the love, folks.

Witty, sophisticated, exquisitely designed and at times downright hilarious. My vocabulary of "love and lust" has grown exponentially. Who would have known that lovers do the 'upa 'upa in Tahiti??
A must buy for yourself and the love of your life. And a great gift for your friends.
I LOVED this book!

A breezy and steamy romp trhough the world of love. Thousands of entries, lavishly illustrated, and a hany carry along size. A must have for anyone in an amourous relationship.

The Dictionary of Love
This small (maybe 5x5) book is PACKED with goodness. Here's a sample of the witty writing:

"Beast: a ferocious, aggressive, untamed animal that dwells in the wild <as in tiger, gorilla, or grizzly bear> and in the heart of even the mousiest of CPAs when sexually aroused"

The book's design and illustrations are a fitting match for the text -- at once elegant and flirtatious. And you can tell the materials are top-notch; for example, the cover feels as smooth as a young lover's skin, and the red tabs that mark where each letter of the alphabet begins are varnished, adding to the expensive look.

I highly recommend The Dictionary of Love as a gift for your current amour!

I bought this book as part of a welcome home goody bag for my boyfriend and it just arrived--I love it! Witty, well-designed, perfect size. I've marked my favorite entries in the book with post-it arrows, and I'll trust he'll get the hints. I'm also pairing it with a stack of oversized cookies (the divine oatmeal/chocolate/candied ginger ones off of epicurious), which will fit perfectly on top of the book.
