Love Book is a zine of fan art, fiction, poetry, and testimonials by fans. It was created once a year by Naomi Marrow and sent to David Soul who portrayed Kenneth Hutchinson.

Marrow was the creator of the David Soul Newsletter, and was supplied information by Amanda Green, who was an employee and writer on the show.

from the 1983 issue, reprinted in Shootout #2

A similar zine for Mark Hamill was One from the Heart.

1980

From S and H Letterzine #21 (May 1981):

I guess two letters and a phone call from Mandy and a call and a letter from David could be construed that he was pleased with the Love Book we sent that arrived at the office on March 11th. David was in the office at the time, helped unpack it and was delighted with the contents. One letter from Mandy to "All Those Who Contributed" reads: "Just a note to let you know that David received the 1980 Love Book on March 11th and is still trying to believe that so many people could put so much love and hard work into something so beautiful just for him. Both Patti and David (and me too, for that matter) thank you with all our hearts and look forward to your cards and letters in 1981." I would like to add my own voice to Mandy's letter and once again thank everyone who donated their art, poetry, cartoons, gifts and letters to this once-a-year opportunity to say "thank you" to David. It works! We are now busy putting together the 1981 book and would be delighted to include contributions from even more folks out there this time. Please join us. It means a lot.
