Critic Reviews
"Praise for Letters of Note: The literary equivalent of a box of chocolates - bite-sized and pure addictive pleasure . . . The result is beautifully produced, with photographs and colour facsimiles of much of the correspondence"
"Addictive, like dipping into a bag of variously tempting assorted candies, knowing that the next one will always bring surprise and pleasure"
"A gloriously presented compilation"
"As a guide to letters that deserve a wider readership, Usher's compilation is hard to beat"
"Quite literally the most enjoyable volume it is possible to imagine. Every page is a marvel"
"It is hard to see how Letters Of Note could ever be surpassed"
"Funny, tragic, brilliantly incisive, historic, lyrical, romantic and studiedly offensive, this stupendous compendium of letters ancient and modern is my book of the year. You will never tire of it" (Stephen Fry)
"It is inspiring, and often sad, funny, and occasionally quite surreal"
"A wonderful collection of magical missives . . . It'll have you reaching for pen and paper"
"A truly extraordinary reading experience"
Beautiful compilation
