Letter Writing In Days Gone By,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Writing Letters with Pen and Ink (Hardcover)
I was so glad to find a book that spoke to my heart about letter writing. This little book is a quick read, but it's chock full of ideas, pictures and information on the art of letter writing in the days of pen and ink. It brought back to my mind those rows and rows of circles I drew in my notebooks in second grade to force my hand to be light and agile for all the words I was going to write. My penmanship grew slowly better and so did my posture, as I practiced my skill. Those days are gone. We can now look forward to slumped shoulders, tunnel carpel syndrome and sore eyes from staring at that lit computer screen. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the art of writing letters by hand, a very favorable experience and unique little book.

Sometimes I get a book and find it was such a quick read that I never go back. This book has pulled me back several times. I love the artwork and I love the quotes. I enjoyed this book a lot.
