Pour your heart on paper

Let's face it, "How to write love letters" is one of those books one would only pick up to read if one's truly in love. As luckily this is my case and, as it happens, my fiancé is far away at the moment, the art of writing the perfect love letter is the order of the day in my life. This is a lovely book, decorated with Victorian drawings and motifs. From the cover, which includes a paste of three pages done to scale of an actual love letter from the First Lord Chatham to his future wife, everything is delightful. Phrases, poems, letters of a lifetime, are included in a small book that can only be cherished as close and deep to one's heart as the same love letters it contains. The first half of the book includes suggestions on technique and materials, and the second half offers a large number of love letters for inspiration. There is a third portion, much smaller in number of pages from the other two, which was for me the most difficult to read, simply because I am in love and just could not imagine going through the agony of a break up. This last section contains letters of break-up, admissions of adultery - and subsequent longings for pardons, and letters of good bye as well. Still, I highly recommend this book, which is a pleasure both to read and to hold.

A Beautiful Book...

As a former graphic designer and type-setter, I have to say this book is simply beautiful. The presentation is amazing and is worth the price of the book alone. The content is also quite stunning. This book will not only help you write better love letters, if you take its' advice seriously it will help you communicate more sensually in every way.

Keep It Simple

Lovric does a magnificent job helping the inspired put life's most difficult emotions to paper coherently. The luxuriously decadent presentation of examples written by ordinary people provide a starting point for a variety of circumstances, sure to help any lovesick would-be Cyrano. Too bad it's out of print, but grab one if you can.
