SAMPLES FROM BOOK:

have all been compiled, photographed, and bound. Resulting in a book that is voyeuristic, sweet, funny, occasionally raunchy, and falls somewhere between a photography book, a social study, and a coffee table book.

Word to the wise:

• The real gem is in the back of the book where the editor gives the reader back history on some of the notes and their writers. One particular man wrote a huge long list of all the things he loved about his wife. She died shortly after the note was written. I believe I will always think back to that list.
• Bill Shapiro also released a book called Other People's Rejection Letters:150 Letters You're Happy You Didn't Get

Wholly: Love Letters is a candid, 3 star, peak at love in today's day and age. So expect some sour with the sweet.
