The New York Times bestselling author of Just My Type and On the Map offers an ode to letter writing and its possible salvation in the digital age. Few things are as exciting—and potentially life-changing—as discovering an old letter. And while etiquette books still extol the practice, letter writing seems to be disappearing amid a flurry of e-mails, texting, and tweeting. The recent decline in letter writing marks a cultural shift so vast that in the future historians may divide time not between BC and AD but between the eras when people wrote letters and when they did not. So New York Times bestselling author Simon Garfield asks: Can anything be done to revive a practice that has dictated and tracked the progress of civilization for more than five hundred years? In To the Letter, Garfield traces the fascinating history of letter writing from the love letter and the business letter to the chain letter and the letter of recommendation. He provides a tender critique of early letter-writing manuals and analyzes celebrated correspondence from Erasmus to Princess Diana. He also considers the role that letters have played as a literary device from Shakespeare to the epistolary novel, all the rage in the eighteenth century and alive and well today with bestsellers like The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. At a time when the decline of letter writing appears to be irreversible, Garfield is the perfect candidate to inspire bibliophiles to put pen to paper and create “a form of expression, emotion, and tactile delight we may clasp to our heart.”

SIGNED EDITIONTo the Letter tells the story of our remarkable journey through the mail. From Roman wood chips discovered near Hadrian's Wall to the wonders and terrors of email, Simon Garfield explores how we have written to each other over the centuries and what our letters reveal about our lives. Along the way he delves into the great correspondences of our time, from Cicero and Petrarch to Jane Austen and Ted Hughes (and John Keats, Virginia Woolf, Jack Kerouac, Anaïs Nin and Charles Schulz), and traces the very particular advice offered by bestselling letter-writing manuals. He uncovers a host of engaging stories, including the tricky history of the opening greeting, the ideal ingredients for invisible ink, and the sad saga of the dead letter office. As the book unfolds, so does the story of a moving wartime correspondence that shows how letters can change the course of life. To the Letter is a wonderful celebration of letters in every form, and a passionate rallying cry to keep writing.

All I Wanted was Love is about true life experiences. It is about a girl, Destiny, who searches for love in all the wrong places. The death of her mother at an early age, combined with a lack of a father, fuels her frantic quest for love and acceptance. Family as well as friends continuously disappoint her; she doesn't feel that anyone loves her; not even God. Her aunt, who takes her in after her mother dies, she feels does so only to fulfill her promise to her sister; she never wanted children. Destiny's grandfather, to whom she was very attached, ends up disappointing her tremendously, and to make matters worse, her uncle, the one person she does feel loved by, is killed in a tragic accident. Her desperate need to be loved impairs her judgment as she pursues a multitude of relationships. Inevitably, each one ends with her feeling hurt, disappointed, and betrayed. Thus, a loveless life full of heartache seems to be her plight. Despite Destiny's torment, she manages to put herself through college by working full time as well as to develop enough self-respect to extricate herself from many abusive relationships. Ultimately, she becomes pregnant by a love interest, and then is faced with the ultimate decision; should she have the baby, and if so, should she marry the father and settle for a man who she's not sure will give her the love that she longs for. Will she find love? No one knows for sure. Although the situations in All I Wanted was Love are extreme, at its core, it is a story about the inherent struggles and hardships in life, love, and growing up. As such, every reader will identify with, cry with, and root for the main character, Destiny.
