This book concerns the serious business of looking for a spouse. I liken this activity to swimming in a sea of sharks, believe me it really is. I have been there. This book presents you with a rogues gallery of sharks, in graphic detail with feeding strategies, and the consequences of their bite. Some are very dangerous to your future, and also your life. The second section outlines topics for negotiation in courtship. Accepted by PublishAmerica in Nov 2002. Will be out probably next summer.
