This is the book for those of us who want to express our love, but are not always sure how to do so. The love letter is a lost art. We tend to be too self-conscious to express our true feelings in writing. We would rather communicate orally or by email or voice mail -- just so our thoughts and feelings will not be recorded in a permanent way. But this is unfortunate, because those who we love deserve the great joy of receiving a written expression of our feelings -- one that will truly make an impression and will survive even when we are gone. This wonderful book may bring back the lost art of the love letter. It provides real world advice for many situations, and sample letters. It will open up your mind, help you identify your feelings, and give you ideas of how to express them articulately and meaningfully. Another great thing about this book is that it is not limited to the love between spouses, significant others, etc. -- it addresses all kinds of love. You can write a love letter to a child, a parent, a teacher, a friend, someone you would like to get to know better (or even someone you would like to break-up with tactfully). These letters are not often written, but they should be! Why not express your feelings -- especially if, with a little help from the authors, you can do so eloquently. The advice is simple and easy to follow, and the sample letters are beautifully written. And because the authors are a male-female team, people of either gender will find ideas they can relate to. This is one of the relatively few books that could truly change your life (and the lives of the recipients of your letters!). One reader's advice: buy a copy (before next Valentine's Day!)

I had tried for close to two years to convince Sandy to marry me. We had a great time together, but she had lingering doubts. One of my college roommates, who was well aware of my situtation (since it was all I talked about) bought me this book -- I think as a joke. It was no joke. I read the whole book in a weekend, and much of it twice. I did not copy any of the well-written letters, but it helped me to express MY OWN feelings in a way I could not otherwise have done. The letter I wrote -- which I titled "I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy" worked. Last month, Sandy and I were married in St. Barts. This book deserves a lot of the credit for our happiness. It may not have the same profound effect on you that it did on Sandy and me, but I assure you that this wonderful book will help you to express the world's most important emotion -- true love!

I love this book! sometimes through the ART of writing love letters can relationships really prosper and move on to another level. After reading this book and apply some of the techniques you learn, you'll soon realize that your relationship with that special someone will soar at an unstoppable rate! it's fantastic..cuz it worked for me

Aside from being poorly written, this book had very little information that really would be helpful. The authors seemed to think by stating the obvious, they were somehow instructing the reader in the art of writing love letters. Most people already know what they want to say; the problem lies in how to form their thoughts and ideas into a coherent and romantic letter. This book is offers no real help in this area.

Aside from the above problems, the final reason which made me return this book, is that the authors tried to instruct the reader on how to write a letter to someone you'd like to have an affair with. I found this not only evidence of poor judgement on their part, but quite repugnant.
