Lifetime of Secrets
This book is delightful and moving. I love the artwork of the postcards and will go back again and again to just browse through them. The personal messages on each card are beautiful - some tragic and some funny but all very human. After I read this book I felt that we are not alone with our problems and struggles. We all have things that make us feel sad or ashamed.

You can't resist picking this up
Finally, after having this on my wish list for forever, I finally bought it. This will be a great coffee table book. I loved the post card artwork and the layout of this book. This is more of an art book than a book meant for just revealing secrets. Don't let this deter you from reading it, though. While the words may be few, they can run the gammit of making you laugh out loud, to making ...

A voyeristic journey into others lives!
I own several of the PostSecret books, along with the "Found" books, and they are adored by everyone who comes in contact with them. They lie on my coffee table just waiting to be picked up and read. Some of the postcards are so heart-wrenching that I cried, others are mischevious and down right CRUEL. I love the amount of time, hard work and effort that the people who send in these post cards do ...

Don't Let Our Youth Go to Waste...Dean Wareham's Cathartic Black Postcards
Andy Warhol said that in the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. If one is lucky enough to land a recording contract with a name record company, write brilliantly crafted rock songs, and tour endlessly, then one might get to be 'almost famous' for 15 years. Such is the story that Dean Wareham, who was the lead singer songwriter of the alternative/indie rock bands Galaxie 500 and Luna, ...

Delightful

The Pullman Car employees have walked out in their first strike.Fred Devault, the man Oliva Mott loves, has been an instigator in the strike. All the employees are asking for are a higher wager and lower rents. Not an unreasonable request, but the Pullman executives are playing tough. Oliva who works ...

This is a beautiful art book, let alone just a postcard book
I just received James Jean's new postcard book XOXO today. This book is beautiful; from the moment you see the crisply detailed cover, you know this is a quality product and also a piece of art. The postcards are like mini prints on thick card stock, with rounded corners. The art chosen ranges from sketches to paintings to illustrations. Everything is wonderfully designed. Do yourself a favor and ...

Pixar Fans, you gotta get these!
When I bought this, I was expecting them as the description states, coiled and in a box. When they arrived, to my suprise, they are not coil bound at all, but each postcard is loose and kept inside the box. This was great, as I was planning on putting some of these in frames around the house anyways. The price....let me tell you, they are worth it. If you work it out, thats about 17¢ ...

Hollywarts!
Carrie Fisher's semi-autobiographical first novel gives a behind-the scenes look at the gloom behind the glamour. The only thing funnier is the movie. Fisher shows a wicked sense of humor as well as a talent for storytelling. Of course she knows the business; she's been known to act in films.

Romantic Fortunes and Halloween Fun
Halloween in the United States wasn't always a children's trick-or-treat holiday. In the beginning of the 20th century Halloween was a time when young adults peered into the murky haze of things to come and used all manner of methods to try to prophesy their romantic futures. Parties were the rage where bobbing for apples wasn't just a game but a chance to search the omens found in apple seeds ...

Great Halloween Postcards
If you really like the old Halloween post cards, that reached their zenith during late Victorian and in Edwardian times, but you find that they are next to impossible to find and the few you do see are priced higher than gold, then this is the book for you. Needless to say, these cards are not old, but they are excellent copies of those really neat Halloween cards of yesteryear. Highly ...

Then suddenly, a stranger steps into their life and starts uncovering a dark family secret. Meet Rachel, who was widowed at an early age because of a driving accident. Meet her daughter Annie, a ...

fun to send children's illustrators
I am always looking for fun postcards to send to friends that will bring a smile to their face. these definitely fit the criteria - also they are on good "mailing" stock paper. A nice easy way to stay in touch that people truly enjoy - for the cost of a postcard and a stamp.

I am an art instructor who works primarily to introduce pre-school and elementary age children to fine art. There are many fabulous reproductions found in this postcard book, such as Rembrandt's "Self-Portrait in Front of an Easel", Raphael's "The Holy Family", and Poussin's "Rape of the Sabines". Any person would be delighted to receive almost all of these postcards as a means to hear from ...
