Letters of Note: An Eclectic Collection of Correspondence Deserving of a Wider Audience by Shaun Usher
3.0
*3.5
I hear it's a beautiful hardcover so read it in print if you have the chance!
I really appreciate the existence of such an anthology. It provides windows into the past and a peek into the art of letter-writing.
Some letters in here were quite beautiful, touching, or thought-provoking. Others were just fine. I really enjoyed how each came with historical context, but not how they pulled a quote out of each as a working title. I also wish the arrangement/order was more careful (felt a little too random).
