Letters of Note: Volume 2: An Eclectic Collection of Correspondence Deserving of a Wider Audience Hardcover – October 11, 2016

As someone who still regularly enjoys writing letters to friends on stationery with pen & ink, I find this book to be wonderful. I will be brief, since much of what I wrote about volume 1 applies again here. In particular, I enjoy seeing the reproductions of the actual letters in the author’s hand. Again, there is a cross-section of letters from the famous and the unknown. Unlike reading a collection of letters, it is difficult to get a real sense of a person from one example, but it is fascinating nonetheless. For anyone, like me, who mourns the passing of the letter, this is a great book.

I love how this book is laid out. Not only do you get to read the letters but you get to see what the letters looked like. I'm glad that I got the second book.

I have volumes 1 and 2 of this book and cannot say enough nice things about them. What a wonderful collection. Emotional, informative, and utterly captivating.

I enjoyed volume 1 and most of volume 2. At present, in the Kindle edition several letters (maybe 10 give or take) only include the images without the transcriptions, which I found difficult (if not impossible) to read on my tablet or pc.

Nicley wrapped package so there were no bent corners on the book, and a nice note of thanks with it as well. Love the book and would recommed the bookseller as well. Thanks so much!

Volume 2 is just as good as Vol 1. Compelling and entertaining reading!

This book and the first volume are incredibly interesting. The letter is such an important writing tool!

Be forewarned. The Kindle edition contains no transcription of some of the letters so they are unreadable.

Este libro es una belleza, tiene un para de cartas que son increíbles. Pasta dura, muy buena calidad de impresión. Excelente inversión.

All the letters are worth reading, and many are outstanding: The feelings they convey, the literary value, the humour, what they narrate, the historic context, who wrote them... Facsimiles and comments by Shaun Usher add to the pleasure. A book to enjoy.

Brilliant book - good coffee table book just nice to sit and open and read any page -you will enjoy
