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

4.0

I read the sequel first, and that was more to my tastes.
This is still good, but I feel like there are two, albeit overlapping, categories in each book-

The wonderous human experience, as seen throughout history
&
Celebrities! They're just like us!

This book seems to lean towards the latter.
Which is fine, if that's your thing, but personally I think if you're looking to pick up one of these books, then the second still has plenty of famous people but it's more discerning and less starstruck.

Nevertheless, this is still a good read, and much recommended for presents etc.
