Lists of Note

Description

People have been making lists for even longer than they've been writing letters, and they reveal a great deal about our likes, dislikes, hopes and aspirations. This handsomely produced companion to the bestselling Letters of Note presents a wide-ranging selection of notes and reminders, from a shopping list written by ninth-century Tibetan monks to Galileo's inventory of the parts needed to build a telescope, and from Darwin's pros and cons of marriage to Chrissie Hynde's 'Advice to Chick Rockers'.
