BOOKS: Furthermore: Jul. 25, 1994

Aided by a display showing Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell, the $6 book, Tell Me the Truth About Love, is selling briskly. The Auden boomlet must cheer Princeton University Press. In September it will publish Juvenilia, 200 mostly unpublished poems that Auden wrote between 15 and 21.
