«Real letters, written by real people who preferred the sensual act of
writing by hand, the delightfully languorous anticipation of the reply, to the
reptilian coldness of the keyboard and instantaneity of the Internet —people
for whom the act of writing was a deliberate choice and is some cases, one
sensed, a matter of principle, a stand taken in favour of a life style not
quite so determined by the race against time and the obligation to perform.»
It's a great book, isn't it.
