Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Lovebirds and starstruck voyeurs may be interested in Count the Ways: The Great Love Stories of Our Time. Journalist Paul Aron (Unsolved Mysteries of American History) writes about celebrated (or reviled) couples like Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Ronald and Nancy Reagan, and Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. The couples mostly straight, white and extremely well known are divided into categories like "Actors and Actresses" and "Royals and Rulers." Aron briefly summarizes each relationship, outlining how the couple met and following the trajectory whether tragic, sordid or heartwarming of each romance.

Now in paper--the inside story of two dozen of the greatest love stories of our times, each accompanied by a striking black and white photo of the couple--the perfect Valentine's Day or Mother's Day gift There are more kinds of love than anyone-even poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning-could count. Here are two dozen great loves from across the spectrum: some married, some not; some lasting, some not. Here are the stories of Edith and Woodrow Wilson, for whom love was her path to power...Edward VII and Wallis Warfield Simpson, for whom love meant his giving up the throne. Here are Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock, whose love kept him sane...and Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, whose love arguably drove her crazy. Here are Christopher and Dana Reeve, whose love inspired him to live...and Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, whose love meant certain death.
