Writing Notes With A Personal Touch

Contrary to popular belief, the art of letter writing is alive and well and is elegantly celebrated in the brief but beautiful Writing Notes with a Personal Touch by Daria Price Bowman and Maureen LaMarca. Full of articulate advice, the authors explain how to compose letters of love and friendship; expressions of sympathy; invitations, acceptances, and regrets; congratulatory and thank-you notes; announcements; and special communications from parent to child. It is all too easy to postpone such correspondence, but with this wonderful little book as your guide, you'll be able to face that blank page with confidence and compose something meaningful. As the authors assure you, letters needn't be literary masterpieces; they need only to capture sincere feelings. Long after the phone calls are forgotten and the e-mails discarded, these heartfelt missives will be treasured by their lucky recipients. --Amy Handy
