When times are particularly difficult, and you are likely to slip into despair, some of the greatest pop songs about love can provide true comfort to make it through the pain. The problem with advice in general is that we of­ten don't take it. The great thing about advice songs is that you can kick back and listen to someone else coach you through a tough situation while rocking out at the same time.

This well-produced and iconic album of words of love is the perfect gift for music lovers of all ages. This wonderful book lists 250 of the best pop songs for when you are in despair about love. The songs represent all popular music styles from the last fifty years, from rock to folk, and from punk to hip hop. This book is a collection of famous love songs. It gives the reader the song titles, painted by hand by the designer, and a striking quote from the song lyrics, as well as indexes on the artists.

'Don't Talk Just Kiss' is the new edition of the successful 'Don't Eat the Yellow Snow'.

A bit disappointing - bought it because of the title - we love Frank Zappa - and this book is too boring to use one of his songs as its title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome! Great book!
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2012
Got my copy last week and I instantly fell in love with it! As soon as you start browsing, you can literally hear the songs in your mind. It is REALLY difficult to put it down after you get started. Advice and wisdom from favourite musicians - just the words in beautifully handwritten black & white typography. Bob Dylan, Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd, The Smiths, Dean Martin, Tom Waits, Madonna, The Beatles and plenty more. "Always look on the bright side of life", "Come as you are", "You can get it if you really want", "Fight for your right", etc. - Makes a great gift for music lovers, advice seekers and people that love beautiful books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Advice from songs (and a bit of a trivia game as well)
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2013
This is a fun book to look through and it even becomes a trivia game if you want to. Each Page consists of a bit of "wisdom" (think of those slips of paper inside fortune cookies) taken from the lyrics of a pop or rock song. Printed in large black letters on the white pages - and rarely exceeding seven words they stand out at you on the right-facing page. In small typeface on the bottom of the left facing page is the complete phrase from which the "wisdom" was extracted and the name of the composer or artist. (There's no other info such as which song it was taken from.

The artists represented are broad. Obviously the title page comes from Frank Zappa. But there are also phrases from such diverse artists as Salt n Peppa, Franz Ferdinand, David Bowie, The Beatles, Feist, Aretha Franklin and The Supremes. You can have fun reading the quote and then guessing at the artist. (For bonus points you can even guess the song title - but you'll have "google" the lyrics to get that answer, as the info is not provided.

There are 250 pieces of wisdom so that makes the book 500 pages. It is heavy. It is bound between two stiff cardboard covers.

I fun read through.

I hope you found this review both informative and helpful.

Ho sfogliato questo libro in una pasticceria a Eindhoven e appena rientrata ho deciso di acquistarne una copia per me e una da regalare.
Le due copie in viaggio dall'Inghilterra sono arrivate in anticipo rispetto alla data di consegna annunciata. Perfetti, sigillati. Ottimo acquisto.
