Letters of Note - Shaun Usher

Post by Louis Walles »

Title of the book: Letters of Note

Authors: Shaun Usher

Genres: non-fiction

Short summary of the story:
This book contains almost 400 pages of historical letters exchanged or written by famous people, such as Queen Elizabeth II's recipe for drop scones sent to President Eisenhower, or Gandhi's appeal for calm to Hitler, a letter from Iggy Pop to advice a troubled young fan, and many many more.

Good points / bad points:
I am a huge fan of history so I was very excited to read this book for the first time. The photos in the book are beautiful and I love how the letters were presented. I highly recommend this book to all of you!
