Review of 'The art of the handwritten note' on 'Goodreads'

A good introduction to writing notes. I found the materials section a touch snooty. But the reasons to write and the etiquette behind simple notes were very good. (The short section on handwriting improvement was also very nice) Each section for the different types of notes had a list if dos and don'ts and sample real world notes and etiquette faqs. I would have liked a little more explicit examples but overall this is a good intro for those interested in getting started in short form epistolary correspondence.
