An effervescent amuse-bouche (recipe within!) for anyone with a palate for Firbank, Pasti, Wilmot, Wittkop, Petronius, Aretino, Suetonius. Not for the burger and fries crowd. Clearly.

Highlights the importance of mediocre work: like a single course in a regimented meal plan which is hearty but barely merits mention — think boiled meats and potatoes.

I gave this book to Sandra, my fiancé. We planned a very strict Female Led Marriage. I vowed to "Love, Honor, Obey, and Submit" at our wedding. Took Her surname. Stemwedel. Sandra studied the tome, and related material, thoroughly. MY FIRST WHIPPING HARNESS! Nose-to-toes Depilation! Estrogen Injections! And much much more. My handsome, ultra-masculine father-in-law approves. Robert knows several FLR couples.
