The Selected Letters of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Edited by Joel Myerson. Columbia University Press, 1997. Hardcover, 469 pp. Beige paper boards with blue cloth spine and illustrated dust jacket. Top of book block has a bit of foxing; otherwise the pages and book are clear. Features 350 of Emerson's pieces of correspondence, distilled from the 10 volumes that include more than four thousand. Insightful, not only about Emerson, but also about his friends and family. A nice resource to have at hand.
