Ranging from diplomatic correspondence of the 14th century BCE to letters by Bette Davis and Iggy Pop, these 125 historic missives are by turns witty, poignant and enlightening. To quote Shaun Usher?s letter to the reader, ?I can think of no better way to learn about the past than through the often candid correspondence of those who lived it?. Slightly off-mint and felt-tip mark on lower trimmed edge.
