Beautiful and fascinating book about love tokens

This is the perfect little book to get for valentines day. It is beautifully designed and illustrated and the topic is fascinating. You can tell that Roberta Etter really did her research for this book and many of the love tokens photographed in the book are from her own collection. Perfect to give to your sweetheart gentlemen for valentines day or to give you ideas on some love tokens you could give her, and ladies the same goes for you. You can make Valentines day special with the practice of exchanging tokens of love with eachother.

This book is itself a token of love.

One is struck by the extravagance of the tokens exchanged by lovers through the ages and across many cultures. The book demonstrates the universal depth and intensity of that emotion we call love and our need to express that feeling with a physical (and permanent) representation. A great gift to someone you love
