"Explore quotations drawn from inspiring correspondence--and the powerful stories behind them--from some of history's most noted (and notorious) letter-writers in Signed & Sealed, a beautiful collection from Quotabelle. Signed & Sealed, a charming gift book that captures the wit, heart, whimsy, drama, and brilliance of correspondence between iconic and little-known pairs both past and present. Inside, readers will find quotations from these exchanges--highlighting the openings and closings penned by their authors--alongside intriguing stories that reveal the who, what, when, and where behind each carefully selected passage. With chapter themes like "with a wink," "with a swoon," and "with an agenda," this clever, rigorously researched collection delivers wisdom and inspiration drawn from the private words of public pairs. Quoted segments of these correspondences are drawn from letters of all sorts--from fan mail and love letters to sage advice and fond farewells. The featured quotations--and the back stories that accompany them--are perfectly suited for bibliophiles, history buffs, pen pals, stationery fans, and letter lovers of all ages." --]cPublisher marketing.
