This ultimately led to the 2009 launch of \u003ci\u003eLetters of Note\u003c\/i\u003e, an online museum of 'correspondence deserving of a wider audience', which to date has been visited more than 100 million times. In 2013, the first \u003ci\u003eLetters of Note\u003c\/i\u003e book was published to wide acclaim. It soon became an international bestseller and inspired Letters Live, a star-studded live show in which letters are brought to life on stage. After years of preparation, his latest project, \u003ci\u003eDiaries of Note\u003c\/i\u003e, launched online on 1 January 2023 and commenced a daily dive into the lives of others, as recorded in their private moments.\u003ch4\u003eReviews\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Shaun Usher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48291600335065,"sku":"9780571390229","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/9530\/8441\/files\/9780571390229.jpg?v=1773494922","url":"https:\/\/www.arielbooks.com.au\/products\/diaries-of-note-366-lives-one-day-at-a-time-9780571390229","provider":"Ariel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
