Sketches, drawings, and scribbles from the private letters and notebooks of some of the greatest names in history — notable figures in art and literature, fashion and film — revealing that even the most influential minds have doodled their time away! Organized alphabetically, with a range of influential names, from William Burroughs to Mark Twain, the book is a voyeur's treasure trove of the ephemeral, in which cultural icons reveal their own preoccupations, passions, plans, and distractions in the marginalia of their daily correspondence.
