Here it comes again

Anyone starting to worry about what to buy their beloved this Valentine’s Day might want to consider a book that I’ve just had the chance to preview.
“To My Sweetheart� (White Star Publishers, $9.95) is really pretty fun.
Edited by Valeria Manferto De Fabianis with graphic design by Clara Zanotti, “To My Sweetheart” seems a bit more sophisticated than the usual schmaltzy releases designed for this particular holiday.
It’s divided into sections — “To my Valentine,� which pairs up vintage cards with some really fitting quotes, followed by “Famous Kisses.�
This section is devoted to stills from movies ranging from 1925’s “The Charmerâ€? to “La dolce vitaâ€? to “Ghostâ€? (um, they all can’t be winners…).
“Hearts of All Sorts� shows various interpretations of the heart image, whether on a tattoo or drawn in the snow on a windshield.
Finally, it all ends with a laugh in “Cartoons in Love,� with scenes from “Lady and the Tramp,� “The Aristocats� and even “Shrek 2.�
The book, released earlier this month, should be available at or through most local book stores. Otherwise, find it online at sites such as Amazon.com.
