The Book

Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating, and Marriage: Classic Advice for Contemporary Dilemmas  is available in a variety of formats ~ from ebook to paperback to a German language edition with a fuzzy cover!

This book takes an affectionate look at how advice throughout the ages is still meaningful today. Combining the best of Miss Abigail’s question and answer columns, each chapter features sidebars containing freestanding tips or selections related to chapter topics. Additional material includes short features on selected authors, silly book titles, and entertaining flap copy or jacket material. Retro book covers, advertisements, “chick-lit”-style line drawings, and other amusing, related ephemera serve to illustrate the book.
