Overview

Mythologized in paperback novels, comic books, "marriage manuals," movies, TV, and the ever-present celebrity media, tying the knot has long exerted a powerful hold on the public psyche. This book takes a lighthearted look at the curious customs and prurient press surrounding modern marriage, surveying its many manifestations in the popular media. Featuring 100s of classic images culled from film and TV, book and magazine covers, ads, and other sources, this book will woo you with tales of seduction and romance; marriages famous, infamous, and bizarre; and advice on tying the knot from early 20th-cent. marriage "experts," Archie Bunker, and others. Whether you're married, have been, or vow never to be, you won't look at marriage in the same way again.
