The Romance Emporium: Hundreds of Things to Buy and Do to Help Keep Love Alive

This catalogue aiming to encourage amorousness has many hundreds of entries on romantic gestures, gift ideas, activities for two and tangible fantasies. Categories range from ""The Romantic Gourmet'' and ``Ruffles and Flourishes'' to ``Rituals'' and ``Grand Gifts.'' Specific listings provide information on how to spend a night in a lighthouse (with indoor plumbing), where to get a custom-made brass bed (with your names engraved on the headboard), and for the passionate but inarticulate, which poets to call on to inscribe a suitably ecstatic ode. Many of the ideas can be used year-round and are applicable to friends as well as lovers. (May)
