From Booklist
The authors explain why a love letter is not a thing of the past and supply guidelines to compose passionate missives to the person you could just as easily call or fax. Sources of inspiration, advice on stationery, writing-style suggestions, and even a glossary of affectionate terms are offered by the romantic coauthors. Each sample letter is signed by Romeo or Juliet--a device cute at first, but soon cloying. Still, for those who experience real writer's block when faced with the prospect of writing a love letter, these suggestions are valid ones. The why, how, and get-to-it are certainly spelled out.
