Valentine Treasury: a Century of Valentine Cards, by Robert Brenner.Love it or hate it, Valentine's Day is almost here! Although many now dismiss Valentine's Day as a "Hallmark holiday," it actually has deep historic roots, stretching all the way back to ancient Roman times. In America, the holiday can be traced through its primary symbol, the Valentine card, and this volume showcases one hundred years' worth of beautiful, funny, and surprising examples.
