From Jane Austen to Voltaire, Anne Lamott to Dorothy Parker, A Literary Address Book celebrates some of the worlds most beloved authors and their thoughts on friendship, correspondence, and writing. The definitive address book for anyone with a love for great writers. Jeffrey Fisher's richly painted illustrations have a hand-hewn quality that adds charm to the endearing quotes gathered here on the art of corresponding, calling, and otherwise communicating. "You deserve a longer letter than this," says Jane Austen, "but it is my unhappy fate seldom to treat people so well as they deserve." "Well, if I called the wrong number," asks James Thurber, "why did you answer the phone?" This is a pretty address book, with ample space allotted for phone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses. --Jane Steinberg
