Letters of Note is a collection of over one hundred of the world´s most entertaining, inspiring and unusual letters, based on the seismically popular website of the same name - an online museum of correspondence visited by over 70 million people.

From Virginia Woolf´s heartbreaking suicide letter, to Queen Elizabeth II´s recipe for drop scones sent to President Eisenhower; from the first recorded use of the expression ´OMG´ in a letter to Winston Churchill, to Gandhi´s appeal for calm to Hitler; and from Iggy Pop´s beautiful letter of advice to a troubled young fan, to Leonardo da Vinci´s remarkable job application letter, Letters of Note is a celebration of the power of written correspondence which captures the humour, seriousness, sadness and brilliance that make up all of our lives.
