SYNOPSIS: From the best-selling authors whose Smart Women/Foolish Choices became the indispensable guide for millions of single women comes the long-awaited answer to every woman's most pressing question: What do men really want? What makes a man fall in love with a woman and want to stay with her forever? In this important new book, clinical psychologists Dr. Connell Cowan and Dr. Melvyn Kinder answer these crucial questions and provide new hope for women, single and married, who are confused, even pessimistic, about finding love and keeping it alive. Men do not pull away from women or leave relationships for obvious reasons; they leave for reasons that are often puzzling to women. Women Men Love/Women Men Leave demystifies men and provides fascinating and invaluable insights into the unique ways men love. With this information, women can learn how to have an effect on their relationships and how to change and enliven them. In the first part of the book, "Women Men Leave," Cowan and Kinder discuss those attitudes and behaviors in women that may turn men off and head a relationship toward disaster. Readers learn, for example, that giving too much can block love rather than enhance it, that a woman may unknowingly prevent closeness and push a man away from her, that aggressive seduction techniques can actually backfire, and why men and women are painfully out of sync when it comes to the timing and intensity of love. In the second part of the book, "Women Men Love," they offer insights into the behaviors that evoke loving and positive responses in men. Contrary to what many women think, men are eager to commit; they are usually attracted to strong women with whom they can have a challenging relationship, and they have an often unspoken but compelling need for friendship. Women will also learn how to recognize when a man is likely to fall in love and why men care much more deeply about love and intimacy than women may have suspected. Women Men Love/Women Men Leave is a book for all women who want to understand what "chemistry" between a man and a woman is all about, and how a woman can gain the power to dramatically influence the course of love. Dr. Connell Cowan received his doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Houston. Dr. Melvyn Kinder received his doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles. In addition to working in private practice, Drs. Cowan and Kinder are co-directors of the Center for Relationship Studies. They lecture frequently throughout the country and are currently developing innovative multimedia counseling techniques..

We realize that the packaging and shipping of your purchase is an important aspect of your order. You have spent time carefully selecting which copy of a book to purchase (Thank you for choosing ours!), often based on its described condition. Bearing this in mind, we carefully package your purchase using:
cardboard boxes or cardboard shipping wraps
cardboard wrap in a Poly Mailer

paper fill
While we often re-use shipping materials, we only do so with clean materials that are worthy of the job. We believe in the second "R" in "Reduce, Re-use, Recycle" when it comes to shipping, but only if it does not compromise your purchase.
Choosing the most appropriate materials suited to your purchase, we package up your parcel, taking the time to do everything we can to ensure its safe and secure delivery to you. Attention is paid to protecting corners and boards of hardcover books and ensuring that paperback books cannot be curled or folded while in transit. To ensure that no moisture damage occurs while in transit, we make sure that a plastic, protective barrier is a part of your package, either by using a Poly Mailer or by plastic bagging/wrapping your book(s) if a cardboard box is to be used for shipping. No loose edges or flaps are left on the outside of packages to ensure smooth flow and safe journey through postal system sorting and scanning equipment.

About Fully Booked
For a good portion of the 1990's, our family was interested in the idea of entering the used book business. We are all avid readers, book lovers, and book collectors who cannot pass a bookstore without popping in. Family trips to the library and our local used bookstore were a regularity while growing up. With each of us having interests in different genres (with a little overlapping here and there), we cover a lot of bases. The thought of having a store of our own was appealing, and the hunt was on - both for stock and a location.
We thought to combine under one roof many different things that would appeal to readers and book lovers. Not only used books, but some new items as well. Bookmarks (to ward off dog-eared pages), bookends (to keep those out-of-control collections under control), bookplates (to label books on the "Can I borrow that?" circuit to ensure that they always found their way home), book repair tape (to lend a helping hand to collectors with tattered favourites in their collections), and so on. With an interest in book-themed knick knacks as well, we had two sides to our would-be business: books and knick-knacks. Hence the business was born.
In the early part of 1998 we bought a commercial property, and in the summer we first opened our doors in a storefront in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. With start-up stock consisting of a garage full of books hand-picked for just such a venture that we purchased from someone who changed their plans, we were in business.
For several years we operated in this storefront, growing our business and learning about the industry and the backbone of it - the customers. It was very satisfying to be present at the end of someone's book quest, as we were quite often. Many a time we heard shouts of joy from somewhere in the shop as customers happened upon just what they'd been looking for (oftentimes for quite a while). At other times, people would approach us with bits and pieces of information that they remembered from long ago favourites in hopes that we could at least help them come up with an author or title to help in their search, which we often times did, with the book in hand. And when we couldn't come up with anything on our own, we would pick the brains of other customers in conversation, or turn to the internet for help for them. For us, quality and selection of stock go hand-in-hand with customer service. One isn't much good without the other.
But times, people, places, and lives change and after several years in our storefront we made a change of our own - in 2004 we relocated to the internet. Now a home-based business in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, we are gradually bringing our inventory online here.
We carry used paperbacks, hardbacks, and magazines for both adults and children. We have thousands upon thousands of books that are not yet listed for sale on the internet, but are gradually making their way there.Fully Booked sells on Biblio.com, as well as on other online venues: abebooks.com (as Past Pages), alibris.com (under Lisa Van Munster), amazon.ca (as resurrectedreads), Etsy.com (as OutOfOurHands), and from time to time on ebay.ca (as littleredreadinghood or thebigbadbookseller).
