If you have seen the movie, you would know that the scene above (whereby she reads from a book titled Love Letters of Great Men) is pivotal to the overall movie's plot.
Basically, after the movie release, fans all over the world started searching for this book. Ah ha....it DOES NOT EXIST!!
The closest text in the real world apparently is "Love Letters From Great Men and Women: From the Eighteenth Century to the Present Day," first released in the 1920s and reissued last year by Kessinger Publishing, which specializes in bringing back old works.
Infact due to its demand, British firm Macmillan spotted the gap in the market and decided to issue a new publication with the same title.
It contains intimate communiques from historical figures including Pliny, Henry VIII, Mozart, Napoleon, Prince Rainier III and Oscar Wilde. The book that was published May 12, 2008 by John C. Kirkland. It has the exact excerpts used in the movie itself. It is available to buy on Amazon.com.
So fans out there, the book did not exist before but the inspiration came from the book released in 1920 and then after the movie's success, some smart fella decided to publish a book with the exact title and concept.
