Love Letters Made Easy

This delightful 1919 book reprinted here in a charming replica edition is a complete guide to what one needs to know to write the perfect love letter. While the advice may be amusingly dated in some of its details-the hidden codes in the alignment of postage stamps are probably no longer appreciated today-the broad counsel would be wisely heeded by those wounded by Cupids dart and hoping to make their best written impression on a beloved. Here the lovestruck reader will find admonitions that particular kinds of thoughtfulness like remembering birthdays and anniversaries are always treasured; practical reminders such as Dont write like the tracks of an intoxicated hen; and guides to which gifts go best with a love letter. Some conundrums of 21st-century lovers are not of course here addressed-youre on your own in deciding whether its appropriate to propose marriage via email-but almost every contingency a tongue-tied lover may face is addressed with assistance as useful as it is timeless.
