Product Description
From Amazon
For the diehard romantic, there may be nothing so thrilling as chronicling that one true love. The Book of Us presents 150 topics on the subject--ranging from "Before I met you, my love life was..." to "One of the reasons I think we lasted so long as a couple is that..." Like David Marshall's earlier book, The Book of Myself, which is also a keepsake, this book makes us wish it were prettier. But it is the thought that counts, and a lot of thought will go into turning these empty pages into something a spouse, one's children, and then their children will cherish. And not to fear: While this is a very sweet book, there is also plenty of room here to ruminate on the less saccharine aspects of life partnership: financial crises, humorous escapades, parenting woes, and home-improvement projects. A word to gay readers: One of the book's five sections focuses on "Tying the Knot"; some of the questions specifically address elements such as the bachelor party and the wedding dress, but most of the questions are generic enough to apply to any type of commitment ceremony. --Jane Steinberg

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great if you use it correctly,
By JET (Parker, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book Of Us (Hardcover)
I bought this book as a birthday gift for my fiance. We have been together over 2 years and are getting married in about 100 days. I thought that this book would be very sweet if I filled out everything up to the wedding/marriage part. However, I think that this book might be a bit hokey if just bought and given to someone blank. However, if you're willing to start filling it out, it gives your companion an interesting way to look at memories and will encourage him/her to fill it out further. I would not suggest getting this book if you are only dating or if you are newly dating: it defines and confines your relationship too much. But this is a great book if you are a couple who are not always together. My fiance lives in England, and we often enjoy sharing memories of our courtship, our vacations, etc. This is a perfect way for your partner to hear your voice and cherish memories when he/she is alone, or when you are unavailable. A good gift for someone/a couple who is romantic, nostalgic, and interested in a little project or creativity.

PERFECTION,
By Tara Weiss (Las Vegas, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book Of Us (Hardcover)
Wow! When I saw this book, I HAD to have it. I'm 19 years old and me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 years. Our relationship is wonderful and I was looking for a journal that i could write all of our personal things in. I didn't buy it as a gift or anything, but he still thinks it's great and we can't wait until this book is all filled up! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
