On-Screen Notes

 * A passage from the book, which Belle reads to Jack and Jill's son, says: "But Gideon was unafraid. He drew his sword and turned to face the evil Sorcerer, ready to save the people he loved." According to Belle, Gideon was a "strong, brave hero", and she ultimately names her son after him.

Production Notes

 * In the episode script for "Skin Deep", Rumplestiltskin picks up the book in the opening scene, and opens it, revealing the title Her Handsome Hero. In the final episode, Belle can be seen holding the book, but it is too far away to make out the title.
 * Her Handsome Hero is a reference to the blue book that Belle holds in the opening scene of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Just like the show's version, this book is Belle's favorite.

Props Notes

 * One page contains text from Lorem ipsum, a filler text commonly used as mock-content when testing a given page layout or font. Lorem ipsum consists of badly garbled Latin, based on sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of De finibus bonorum et malorum ("On the ends of good and evil"), a philosophical work by the Roman philosopher Cicero. Lorem isum is often used when previewing the layout of a document, as the use of more understandable text could easily distract the user from the layout being examined. While many forms of Lorem ipsum exists, the show uses a version that can be found on several online websites, including this page on the official website of Adobe Systems.
 * The exact same text can be glimpsed in one of Mr. Gold's spell books in "Her Handsome Hero".
