3.0 out of 5 stars A book to read--even if only for the last few pages., March 13, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Moorpark, California) - See all my reviews

This book needs a sequel, and another, and another. It's interesting to me that there were so many who would not hold the sign, and even more interesting, what some of their excuses were. I found myself laughing at Margaret Thatcher's quote: "Well, I won't touch it. But if you place it on the table, I'll stand beside it." At least she was open to the idea of the Love sign. The Love Book is a symbol... A self named symbol for us to have and to look upon now and far into the future. It is a timeless book which only needs updates. Every culture, every era, every government should have a "Love Book" showing the diversity of the people. The Love Book is made of people, and helps us to realize that we must not take love, or people for granted. With out people, there would be no love...and with out love, there would be no people.

5.0 out of 5 stars The LOVE book has big HEART, April 22, 2004

By A Customer

This guy's my hero. A woman breaks his heart, he sets out on a journey to heal and the universe brings him to the Love sign. He heeds the sign and puts it into every hand he comes across ('cept for those who dissed LOVE). I wonder where the loveguy is now. Some nights, I pull THE LOVE BOOK off my shelf when my husband's in the other room snoring and farting - - and I think about the author schlepping that sign across the country with his message of love...
