Even at a quality bookstore, a young man may find himself adrift when searching through a sea of similar titles. ''Is it Sex and Sensibility?'' the clerk asks, after he's spent five minutes hunched over his computer, attending to my request. Nope, that's not it, but a good title. ''Is it The Jane Austen Book Club?'' Uh-uh. Desperate, he gives it one last shot: ''I don't suppose it's Jane Austen and the Dialectics of Misrecognition?'' No, unless the dialectics of misrecognition involve teaching you how to snag a man, Regency-style. Finally, the shop manager comes to the rescue: ''I know the book you mean -- it's Jane Austen's Guide to Dating,'' she says, and fetches a copy.
