by Kelly Murphy (Author), Hallie Fryd (Contributor)
This book compiles photos and life stories of fifty of the sexiest men and women from history and asks the essential question: Would you really want to date them? Some are artists, some are scientists, and many are political or military leaders, but all have had a lasting impact on human life - and a sizable impact on their admirers as well. Each entry describes the period in which the heartthrob lived and includes essential stats, hilarious sidebars, and, of course, a crushability ranking: a measurement of how crush-worthy these people really are, based on their relative levels of heroism (or villainy).
