books to live by: the hand written letter project

As many of you already now, I am a lover of books (read more about my obsession here) and handwritten letters (remember this post?) So it's safe to say that this beautifully designed book has gone to the top of my wishlist!  

The Hand Written Letter Project was developed by Craig Oldham with help from a ton of other extremely talented designers, to praise the art of written in its truest form: by hand. In the time of depersonalized junk mail, email, text message and so on, the art of writing has been diminished to acronyms and emojicons. This book has certainly revived letters in a voyeuristic way - us on the outside looking in at what is being created. 

This has rapidly become a very popular book and has been sold out for some time. However, recently the project was re-published due to high demand, and you are able to find the expanded collection here. 

Hope your week is off to a fantastic start!
