No one can resist a love letter Love letters are largely a lost and forgotten art. Not long ago suitors used the written word to work magic, and people were swept off their feet by a sweet, sincere note. How to Write a Love Letter teaches us, once again, how to reinvent this most meaningful of arts. In today's rushed, individualistic society, love letters are more potent than ever before. They embody and convey the mysterious, the unexpected, and the most utterly thoughtful. A love letter can be anything--from a brisk, casual E-mail asking a love interest to coffee to a handwritten marriage proposal that will serve as a family treasure always. Fun, flirtatious, intimate, provocative--a love letter can be any and all of these things. Even the simplest letter can cause a stir. Barrie Dolnick and Donald Baack have collected a wide range of letters--from old family keepsakes to casual and proper office E-mails. The authors demonstrate and explain, to both women and men, that writing a love letter is about turning sincere affection or intrigue into a unique, cherishable gesture, no matter how small the occasion or how short and uncomplicated the note. Whether you're shy and have trouble expressing your feelings face to face, or you're a romantic at heart who wants to learn more effective ways to communicate, How to Write a Love Letter is your ultimate inspiration and guide. Go ahead. Fan the flames of a fledgling romance, or tell your husband of forty years that you still adore him as much as you did the day you first married him. Words are sexy, romantic, and wondrous. Letters are legacies. Learn the art today, and improve your life. Julie, My life is starting to become different, even if my days seem the same. And I must confess that it's you who has changed my outlook. You have opened my eyes to some amazing new possibilities. Your touch is so gentle, your kisses are so delicious, and your body is soft when it presses against me. I will forever be filled with a new sense of wonder and joy, because you have shared these things with me. I must confess that in some ways I feel inadequate. Can I match your gentleness? Can I give any feeling as warm and secure as the one you have bestowed on me? You have chosen to show me such strong passion combined with such sweet affection, and I can only hope you feel a glimpse of the same from me. Our time together is very special. There are very few moments that a man knows will linger with him for the rest of his life, and you have already given me many. Thank you for being such an extraordinary part of my life. I hope we will continue this journey together for a long time to come. John

This may be incredible if you started thinking yesterday.:
However, for the rest of us this book is trite and overly simplistic. After reading through the entire book (and it's a very brief read) I can say that I gleaned, maybe, three or four decent ideas. Those ideas came from included sample letters though, and not the message of the book. You would probably be better off buying a collection of classic love letters and taking inspiration from them. This book will be all but useless to everyone save a few well intentioned meatheads.
A great resource for romance!:
HOW TO WRITE A LOVE LETTER is a great book for novices, but it's also a pretty good refresher for those of us who been together a long time, too!
My practically perfect spouse is an English teacher...I suggested he use this book next Valentine's Day in a writing exercise.
Pick up this book from amazon or the next time you're in a bookstore. Use it and see if your love life doesn't heat up a notch or two.
Enjoy!
Dear Barrie and Donald- I Love This Book:
I bought it for my husband for Valentine's Day and it did the trick. I got a love poem in return. It's very interesting to analyze a purely emotional process. Buy one for every married and single person you know.
Long live romance:
Who says that romance is dead? Certainly no one who has the pleasure to read this book. How To Write A Love Letter is a must-have for people who are in love, have loved, are loved, and/or who want to be loved.
This book is a real jump-start for putting romance back into relationships which may have suffered due to hectic lifestyles, telecommunications (or no communication!), and information overload. It harkens back to the age of Victorian romance, and proves that simple, heartfelt, truly loving gestures... more info
