A book for anyone who's ever dated or been wooed, successfully or otherwise - the young and lovestruck, the single and lovelorn, the older and love-worn, the simply curious and a beautiful hardback, to boot, for the amorous gift-giver. A brief and very readable but nevertheless informative history of dating that covers pretty much everything from the rules of Regency courtship - including the surprisingly early advent of personal ads, not touched on by Jane Austen - to swiping right.
