Editorial Reviews
Review
"Why text him that dirty thought when you can put it on paper for the grandkids to find in 2078?" -- Glamour, February 2005
"will delight the hopeless romantic on your list. Watch out though . . . a few of the selections are decidedly venom-tinged. . . . Snap!" -- Time Out New York, December 16, 2004
...gorgeous...Touching glimpses of other peoples' lives and hearts, the letters are equally fascinating for what they don't say. -- Tango, July 2005
History buffs will crave Love Letters, Lost. [It's] touching and in many cases sweetly hilarious. -- People Magazine, February 14, 2005
The love letter most likely to achieve its objective, (Hines) believes, is about is subject, not so much about the person writing it. -- Sun, Feb. 11, 2007
Those looking for some Valentine's Day romance between the covers are certain to find it in Love Letters, Lost. -- Associated Press, January 31, 2005
missives from ardent lovers, circa 1850-1950, whose words still seduce, cajole, scold, amuse, and enrapt with surprising power. -- LD Beghtol, The Village Voice, February 2-8, 2005
Product Description
My Dear Sweetheart: There now: have I made myself clear, and do you see between the lines that I love you very dearly and more constantly from day to day? I am going to turn in now and take this to town with me early tomorrow and tonight I will hug you very close to me and love you ever so much, Sweetie dear. Fondly and affectionately, Kenton (I do love you dear) Love letters. Passionate, sad, ardent, goofy, serious, bittersweet, angry, tragic, frantic, embarrassing, and -- of course -- romantic. We've all written them at one time or another. Some were saved; some were tossed out (the nerve!). Love Letters, Lost is a collection of amorous letters whose fates were, alas, scattered to the wind. Salvaged from flea markets, garage sales, swap meets, and Internet auctions by Babbette Hines, author of our best-selling title Photobooth, they are here paired with vintage photographs of love-struck couples holding hands, laughing, smiling, dancing, and otherwise mugging for the camera. In this age of generic email cards and text messaging, this beguiling little book reminds us of the simple beauty of an epistolary romance. And just in case you need a little help, Hines has included suggestions from a 1919 booklet on how to write your own letter of love. xoxo
