Letters of Note: An Eclectic Collection of Correspondence Deserving of a Wider Audience

This spectacular collection of more than 125 letters offers a never-before-seen glimpse of the events and people of history—the brightest and best, the most notorious, and the endearingly everyday. Entries include a transcript of the letter; a short contextual introduction; and, in 100 cases, a captivating facsimile of the letter itself. The artfulness of Shaun Usher's eclectic arrangement creates a reading experience rich in discovery.

Mordant, hilarious, poignant, enlightening—surprise rewards each turn of the page. Colorfully illustrated with photographs, portraits, and relevant artworks, this handsome hardcover is a visual treat too, making Letters of Note an utterly distinctive gift, and an instant classic.

This is like a beautifully-bound armful of treasures from the world's attic. Not only are the contents of the letters fascinating, but the inclusion of real xerox representations is powerful. There are also a lot more selections that I ever dreamed.

While some are more personally engaging than others, there is certainly a lot for all of us. From the beginning with HRH Elizabeth's recipe for dropped scones to President Eisenhower, through the last page, my eyes kept widening.

This volume of letters from people whose names are obvious and need no introduction to everyday people is entertaining, educational and just plain wonderful. One almost feels as if the letters were meant for the reader -- sort of like snooping into an envelope knowing it was not meant for you. Highly recommended.
