Love Letters

For those of you that have seen the movie Sex and the City, you'll recall that early in the movie, Carrie reads love letters to Big from a book she checked out from the New York Public Library. It turns out that the book, Love Letters From Great Men, does not exist. AbeBooks.com has reported hundreds of inquiries about the book, but the closest title would be Love Letters From Great Men and Women From the 18th Century to Present Day, edited by C.H. Charles, originally published in 1924 and reprinted in paperback last year. When I looked the title up on Amazon, it shows that people who bought this item bought it with the Sex and the City soundtrack. Unfortunately we don't have Love Letters From Great Men and Women, but we do have The 50 Greatest Love Letters of All Time. Not only does this book have that great old library book smell that Carrie professes to love, but it also contains the letter from Ludwig van Beethoven that Big quotes to Carrie:

"ever yours

ever mine

ever ours"
