This book is absolutely gorgeous. So well curated and so well-made. It’s beautiful to hold and it’s beautiful inside. The letters themselves both short and long are a joy. Highly recommend this. One to be dipped into.

Unfortunately, the overall selection of letters just didn't appeal to me. But that's obviously a very personal opinions. It's definitely a more narrow pool of correspondence to choose from (literary specific letters) for an anthology, but it was hit or miss for my specific taste. Of course, I only got through about a third, sometimes in the once a day format, if you hit a few in a row that aren't your style, it's hard to stay on the horse. For now, I've put it aside. I don't rate if I don't hit 50% of a book.
