The Art of the Handwritten Note (21)

11 Nov 2007

Title: The Art of the Handwritten Note: A Guide to Reclaiming Civilized Communication
Author: Margaret Shepherd
Genre: Non-Fiction

I very much enjoyed this little book. The author has a real dislike for greeting cards that I don't share but other than that, it was a lovely, though a little too precious for my taste book. You can read it though I think you'll get more and better information from reading Correspondence Notes instead.

As the year is rapidly winding down I have to admit my complete failure regarding my goal to read 40 books in 2007. I'll be lucky to reach the 25 books read mark. I'm disappointed in myself but I'm not going to dwell on it. Instead I'm going to set that same 40 book goal for 2008 and try really hard to meet it.
