Letters of Note

Sometimes you stumble upon an idea that is so ingenious that you simply can't understand why someone hadn't thought of it before. Enter "Letters of Note"; a blog, that publishes, funnily enough, "Letters of Note"...from the rich, famous and fabulous! I particularly like this Andy Warhol one, which is incredibly sweet and humble. It was written when Warhol was just starting out as an illustrator, and is a response to a request from Harpers Magazine for some biographical information. You'd never guess from this scribble that he would go on to become such a massive self-publisizing genius! http://www.lettersofnote.com/
