I came across this book at the library and was instantly hooked. It's a book of letters between a writer in New York and a London bookseller. Perfect on fall nights, with tea in hand.
"I require a book of love poems with spring coming on. No Keats or Shelley, send me poets who can make love without slobbering - Wyatt or Jonson or somebody, use your own judgement. Just a nice book preferably small enough to stick in a slacks pocket and take to Central Park." Helene Hanff
Mmm, looks great
ReplyDeleteThat's such an interesting book concept. Reading other peoples letters always seems so sneaky.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I had a question for you... what is your photo setup? These pictures are always so simple and the background so white!

Hi Faith,
ReplyDeleteReading letters belonging to someone else does kinda have a feeling of reading their diary.
I shoot everything in our loft. We have a wall of north facing windows which is lovely for even light. The background is just a white foam board. Hope this helps!

ReplyDeleteThe movie is fantastic, so the book must even be more so!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this--I had never heard of this book. I still haven't read it, but I did watch the movie and I loved it! I can't wait to read the book now (I know, I know, I did it backwards!) Thanks again for sharing!
