Just received this book – earlier than expected. I love Amazon for that reason. Great book, great excerpts from love letters. Poor book construction. I don’t know if anyone else had this problem, but my page numbers didn’t match up in the Table of Contents. A miniscule issue but shows the professionalism put into the book. The price could have been cheaper as well. All in all, an OK buy, but really? The page numbers?

I bought this book thinking it would be more than it is; not that it is bad, I just expected more letters, and perhaps to be able to actually see the letters as they were written instead of the words reprinted. I think it would be exciting to see the actual handwriting. The book is rather small, and I was expecting more of what I had seen in the SATC movie. This is a thin, paperback book, not much bigger than the cookbooks that you see for sale at the checkout line.

I loved the book, and i loved the consept that the book never existed before the movie “made it up”. the reason i gave it 4 stars insted of 5 is, that i wish it had come in a more “eksklusive” hardcover version. I think the wrapping should resembel the “wonders” within the book, and the softcover beige cover of this book makes it look dull and ordinary, when it is annything but.

I bought this as a give, and I thought it was the exact same book that apears in the movie. It’s not, but it’s still a very nice version.

I think it’s too much to even dream that men of today could even understand this kind of love, let alone write about it. I have always been a hopeless romantic but letters like these just take me to a whole new level. Some of them are sad but so beautiful and filled with such longing. I will always remain hopeful that someone will write such things when they think of me. Enjoy.
