| 11. |  | Love Letters of Great Men
from St. Martin's Press
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
This book just didn't feel warm and romantic to me. Certainly it's professionally done, but felt a little too corporate. Doesn't seem to add much to what else is already out there. Not really anything new or interesting, IMHO. | 3.0 / 5.0

| 12. |  | The Letters of Abelard and Heloise (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Books
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
The Letters of Abelard and Heloise is an intense read. It is no doubt true that the staying power of these writings is owing to the soap-opera-like lives of its authors as well as the poetic and romantic language. This collection brings together Abelard's biography written to a friend, "The History... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
The brilliance of this gem of a work, is that its 2000 years old but the essential messages Seneca conveys to his friend on a great many topics through his letters is still as relevant today as then and we can still identify with them.
After an excellent intro into the mans life with a compact... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Marian Wright Edelman has written an instructional manual on how to build a nation for all children. Like all instructional manuals it is not exciting or entertaining. And it is expensive for it's intended audience;ie 19 pages for Parents. But Ms. Edelman cares enough to challenge me to get this... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I have been a Mitford aficionado since I stumbled across a copy of The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate, by Nancy Mitford, with a foreword by Jessica Mitford which commented that the Radletts were based on the Mitfords. I loved the novels, and was intrigued by the Mitford legend, so I... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Letters from the Earth / 0-06-092105-6
Whatever else may be said about Twain, it cannot be denied that the man had a biting satirical sense of the foolish and he displays his wit most superbly in this posthumous collection of his musings.
The religious commentary here is biting and is... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Price: $9.95
Customer Review:
I love Jane Austen, so reading through her letters - and getting a glimpse into the mind of such an amazing person - was fantastic. I only want to warn potential buyers that this book is very poorly manufactured. I only got to the second letter before the first page literally FELL OUT - and I'm an... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
