[Hamilton Carter · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun book on letters and their proper writing. For me the book was more fun to read for the quotes from old letters from Austen, Collette and the like. There were tips and lots of inspirational views on penning correspondence as well. Overall the text is quite pleasant, and rolls along nicely.
