{"product_id":"the-technique-of-the-love-affair-1","title":"The Technique of the Love Affair","description":"This 1928 classic--playfully shocking and surprisingly practical--is now back in print, astutely annotated for the nineties. Originally published anonymously by the multitalented Doris Langley Moore (author of many books of nonfiction and fiction, and a much sought-after costume designer for film and theater), The Technique of the Love Affair is a masterfully written dialogue between the worldly \"Cypria\" and the naive and sentimental \"Saccharissa\" on how to conduct--with grace and restraint--successful love affairs.\n\nMoore outlines a pragmatic approach to sexual pursuit and conquest, peppering her advice with incisive comments on the nature of men and women--which (current self-help books notwithstanding) has remained virtually unchanged after seventy years.\n\nA sparkling period piece and a shrewd guidebook for those who consider pleasure a serious business, The Technique of the Love Affair is brimming with unassailable, timeless insight. Now, in this new premillenial edition, it is--more than ever--a wise and witty manual on the art of love for the thinking woman.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0785816151\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0785816151.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Moore, Doris Langley\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Reliant Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46057379299505,"sku":"RDV.0785816151.A","price":6.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0544\/8872\/7729\/files\/0785816151-0.jpg?v=1753291345","url":"https:\/\/www.reliantbookstore.com\/products\/the-technique-of-the-love-affair-1","provider":"Reliant Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
