All letters come with a "transcript," with the letter images included to add interest. Please see the photo I've attached of a favorite of mine from the book, as an example of how the book proceeds. If you have any interest, I'd say, please get thisboom. It is a larger format, somewhat like a coffee table book; but the collected letters inside are funny, moving, intimate, inspiring, fascinating. Unlike so many "pretty" books that are done in about 20 minutes, this one has already provided so much enjoyment - reading, rereading, and sharing with my best friend and my family. The person who compiled the letters also provides background that further brings these letters to life. Can hardly wait to receive book 2! ### ⭐⭐⭐ History is best judged by the letters of men who wrote them. *by A***O on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2021* This is a hefty book, as heavy as my old accounting textbooks. A necessary consideration, since some of the actual letters are showcased here. Not all of which are that noteworthy, though, thus the 3-star rating. But there are some letters of note here, and below are my personal choices, aka "unforgettables:"- Jack the Ripper's letter, which came with a token of half a kidney preserved in wine- E.B. White's inspiring letter to "wind the clock"- Francis Carr-Gomm's letters to The Times concerning his hospital's guest, John Merrick (literally, the elephant in the room)- A savvy application letter by one Robert Pirosh- Virginia Woolf's unsentimental letter of farewell to her husband- Jourdon Anderson's letter of response to his former slave master's letter asking him to return as a paid employee- A teenaged Fidel Castro's letter to President Roosevelt, asking for $10 and offering to point out the locations of the iron mines of Cuba- Two mothers' letters to The Founding Asylum, explaining why they had to give up their babies- Katharine Hepburn's letter to Spencer Tracy, eighteen years after his death- Charles Schultz's deadpan letter to a fan, acquiescing to her request to do away with an apparently unlikeable character named Charlotte Braun- Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus- Three teenyboppers' desperate letter to President Eisenhower, asking him NOT TO TOUCH Sergeant Elvis Presley's sideburns- Amelia Earhart's pragmatic letter to her groom, written the night before their wedding- Convicted WWII deserter Eddie Slovik's futile plea to President Eisenhower- Missionary and survivor of the first order Lucy Thurston's agonizing letter to her daughter, detailing her breast cancer surgery on a Hawaiian island, sans anaesthesia and antibiotics- Emily Dickinson's cryptic letter to her sister-in-law- Alec Guinness cheeky letter to a friend, with a jibe at the movie that would re-introduce him to a new generation, and which he was filming at the time the letter was written- Flannery O'Connor's response to a pedantic professor's questions (insistence?) of allegories in her short story A Good Man is Hard to Find- Slave owner Sarah Logue's letter to her former slave Jermain Loguen, chiding him for his escape but insisting on his return, and his fitting riposte- Robert T. Lincoln's letter to a magazine editor, clarifying a curious coincidence involving the brother of the man who killed his father, Abraham Lincoln- Alleta Sullivan's surprisingly composed letter to President Eisenhower, inquiring about her five drafted sons, who were rumored to have perished at sea- The letter that will most likely make me read Slaughterhouse-Five is the writer Kurt Vonnegut, Jr's candid letter to his father immediately after his 5-month captivity by the Germans ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The reason to still buy hardcover books *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2015* I bought both Letters and Lists of Note as a Christmas present for my mother-in-law, and when they arrived I couldn't help myself and began to read. I've been reading eBooks on the main for a while, and everything about these books was enthralling - the library-book smell, the feel of the heavy stock pages, and the gorgeous dust jackets. And the content, so thoughtfully curated... once I started reading, I couldn't stop. Unable to part with them, I have ordered another copy of each to wrap up and give away, and am keeping these copies for myself. There is something for everyone here, so my recommendation is to do what I did - buy a copy for yourself, and one for someone you love. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1210476-letters-of-note-an-eclectic-collection-of-correspondence-deserving-wider](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1210476-letters-of-note-an-eclectic-collection-of-correspondence-deserving-wider) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
