Publisher Marketing: Praise for A Dictionary of Love "A Dictionary of Love is a veritable Valentine of a book. It's a tidy collection of bon mots on the subject of love." The Sunday Herald, Monterrey, CA "A really fun book to read. There is either a good laugh or a real thought provoker (or even both) on each page." New England Bride "Consider these 'pearls of wisdom' from A Dictionary of Love" Family Circle "Who wrote the book of love? The Answer, historians will argue. might be pretty difficult to trace. But one thing is certainly true, whoever wrote the book of love could probably have used Gil Friedman's A Dictionary of Love, on the desk beside the tablets, papyrus sheets, sheepskin, or whatever the muses used in the misty land of romantic wisdom." Chico Enterprise Record, Chico, CA "With its variety of quotes-from the acerbic to the spiritual to the sentimental-this collection is never dull, and it also offers many thoughts worth meditating on." Small Press Review "Beautiful Work." John Robbins, author of Diet for a Small America ..". Very beautiful book, we will refer to it often." Joyce and Barry Visell, authors of The Shared Heart "What a joy to receive your wonderful book. I am honored you included mine." Susan Jeffers, author of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway "A great depository of quotes on love." Single Adult Ministry Information "What sets Mr. Friedman's volume apart from earlier anthologies on the theme of love is that he included many New Age sages and they add a touch of seriousness and timeliness. There is Rollo May, Meher Baba, Gerald G. Jampolsky, Bernie S. Siegal, to mention just a few." North Coast News "Funny, rueful, practical, wise and compassionate, this collection is a recommended gift to anyone who is in or might be in a love relationship (like teenagers). One charming feature is the great range of attitudes displayed. One can disagree totally with one, and on the same page find one that rings true and provides an insight. Lots of fun, and more educational than many a tome." New Age Retailer "This rich reference book is a must for all of us who want to express and understand love.
