An updated edition of this compulsive collection of the world's most entertaining, inspiring and powerful letters, curated by the founder of the global phenomenon lettersofnote.comThis book was brilliant in written form and it's even better in audio, with a cast of famous voices elevating hilarious, horrifying and moving historical epistles . . . An eclectic treasure trove of letters . . . The letters are variously life-affirming, devastating, wilfully mundane, subtly acidic and sometimes downright creepy
Quite literally the most enjoyable volume it is possible to imagine. Every page is a marvel
Addictive, like dipping into a bag of variously tempting assorted candies, knowing that the next one will always bring surprise and pleasure
A gloriously presented compilation
The literary equivalent of a box of chocolates - bite-sized and pure addictive pleasure . . . The result is beautifully produced, with photographs and colour facsimiles of much of the correspondence. A gorgeous Christmas present
It is hard to see how
Letters Of Note could ever be surpassed
Funny, tragic, brilliantly incisive, historic, lyrical, romantic and studiedly offensive, this stupendous compendium of letters ancient and modern is my book of the year. You will never tire of it
It is inspiring, and often sad, funny, and occasionally quite surreal
A wonderful collection of magical missives . . . It'll have you reaching for pen and paper
As a guide to letters that deserve a wider readership, Usher's compilation is hard to beat
