It’s perfect timing for Valentine’s Day. A progressive publisher wants you – yes, you – to do the romancing. Book By You says it sells thousands of personalised romance novels each year with titles such as `ER Fever’ and `Pirates of Desire’, where the reader is the star. According to Dispatch.com, it’s all fairly straightforward. Customers answer 20 to 30 questions about themselves and their beloved. Then the details are woven into one of the company's eight pre-formatted novels. Clients can even have their photos added to the book jacket. One customer had a marriage proposal included at the end - for $34.95 plus shipping and handling. The company has increased its male appeal with the latest book, `Racing Hearts’, a love story based on stock-car racing.FOOTNOTE: Stock-car romance? That’ll get your pulse racing.
