Customer Reviews

Nice Little Book

This book gives some good ideas on what to say on certain occasions. I wanted something that would give me some ideas on what to add to a greeting card to make it a little more meaningful and this book is helpful for that.

Nice book to have on hand.

Very cute book with good advice for writing notes.

oodles of concise, eloquent examples

At first I thought this might be too simplistic a guide to social and personal notes, then I found myself getting choked up in the chapter on "Writing Notes for Difficult Moments." The author is straightforward, friendly, and sensible, and she blends sensitivity with emotion in just the right mix, facing illness, AIDS, cancer, and impending death with clarity and compassion. She also gives snappy suggestions for graduation, holiday, and congratulatory notes, and devotes additional attention to writing to children and teenagers. The book gives such heartfelt, meaningful examples of short notes that if you keep a copy on your writing desk you need never be at a loss for words again.

Notes galore!

Ideas for writing notes - and even letters, can be found in this wonderfully heart-warming book by Florence Isaacs. We are given suggestions on what to write for the Holidays, for cancer and AIDS patients and their families, for condelences, births, etc. Every possible social situation is covered, including all types of religious Holidays. The artwork was designed by Hallmark, the "card people". A very cosy book, just for those cold winter afternoons when you don't know what to say or write in your correspondence.

A Must Have Book For Every Type Of Correspondence!

This book is an invaluable tool to anyone who cherishes the art of letter-writing. It offers sincere and effective ways of addressing a wide variety of situations from thank you notes to letters of sympathy. It has literaly saved me hours of letter writing time!
