The 50 Greatest Love Letters of All Time
David Lowenherz

What's going on with the price?
+ A beautiful book of love

Barnes and ...

James Joyce
Penguin / Viking, 1975
Can someone explain to me why this is out of print?
+ Quite unique and absolutely fascinating.

And, yet, his letters, which are as close as we will ever get to knowing what he was thinking while composing ...

I'm not going to go over what the book is about as many have already done that. I just want to say that I am NOT friends with the author. Everyone who has given this book a bad review has said that if we give it a good review we must be friends with the author. THIS IS NOT TRUE. i am an avid reader ...

The first two thirds of the book are really funny, and surprisingly well written, with enough twists and turns and great laughs to keep me avidly turning each page. Then the author gets serious, and all I wanted to ...

The characters in this book are memorable, realistic, and well ...
