From Amazon.com:
Lovers everywhere will -- of course -- love this playful, passionate, and practical guide to the art of the kiss. Mmmmm.... Written by the author of The Art of Hugging.

valentines day!:
This is one of my favorite valentines day gifts to give, along with "lipstick" by jessica pallingston, and veronique vienne's "art of.." series, and "chocolate!". Fun!

great for beginning and experienced kissers:
This is the best book on kissing -- period. Not only does it offer creative ideas for beginners, it has plenty to suggest for advanced kissers as well. Sure it deals with some kisses that you may have heard of before (like the eskimo kiss and the french kiss) but it treats them in depth so that even experienced kissers will learn something new. (By the way, if you think the eskimo kiss is just for kids you haven't read this book.) The best part of this book, though, is all the great romantic ideas it offers experienced kissers. It's down to earth and practical, like Ovid's THE ART OF LOVE, but devoted all to kissing. Who knew that lip-o-suction could be done in a pulsating action? Who else tells you how men and women respond differently to french kisses? Do you know how to do the Trobriand Islands kiss? This wonderful volume tells you everything there is to know about kissing and it's by an author who has done his research, having surveyed over 100,000 people! It's written in a romantic style that's appropriate for teenagers as well as adults. And because it's a whole book devoted exclusively to kissing, it's something you could give as a gift without embarrassing yourself. If you love to kiss, do yourself a favor and get it. I consult it before many dates and it always inspires me. After all, isn't that what a book on kissing is supposed to do?

Wish I hadn't wasted my money!:
This is one time I wish I hadn't listened to the other reviewers. I didn't find this book at all informative. It could be slightly entertaining at times but it is not at all educational. I had thought this was to give tips and specific instruction on kissing. I thought that this was meant to help improve ones kissing ability. It is kind of childish and it is not beneficial. It talks about kisses in general terms. It even talks about "butterfly" and "eskimo" kisses which is something that 5 year-old children utilize. I am not 5 years-old and I want some specific adult help to become a fantastic kisser. I don't know what else to offer as a substitute to this stupid book other than practice, practice, practice.

Smooooooch!:
What a winner! Now here's a book to get your heart pounding and your lips locking... Written in a dreamy romantic style it does more than instruct, it inspires.

Hugs and Kisses:
There is nothing extraordinary about this book. However, it does get you to think more about kissing which is important to any romantic relationship. I'd highly recommend The Romantic's Guide by Michael Webb. It has tons of creative tips and ideas.
