| Abstract
|
:
|
"With wit and wisdom, the bibliophile's Ebert & Roeper recommend more than 600 books based on what women care about most. Between the Covers is organized around their wide-ranging curiosity-about themselves, friends and family, the larger world-and their concerns, from health to sex to managing their finances"--Publisher website(February 25, 2009).
