Purpose of the Work: This is a gift book for Valentine’s Day, weddings or just a fun way to say “I love you,” to that special someone. It’s a naughty, but nice reference guide— an A to Z romp through all things amorous that you won’t find in the encyclopedia. One challenge was to make this an object of love with only 2-color printing on the interior.
