"Sex And The City" Book Doesn't Exist

A consumer alert for the millions who have seen the "Sex and the City" movie: There is no such book as "Love Letters of Great Men," which Carrie Bradshaw reads while in bed with Mr. Big.

The closest text in the real world apparently is "Love Letters of 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.

Richard Davies, press manager for AbeBooks.com, an online seller that features used titles, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he has received hundreds of queries about the book's existence.

Photos: "Sex" IN The City

Enough readers have been directed to the Kessinger anthology, on AbeBooks and elsewhere on the Internet, that it ranked No. 134 on Amazon.com on Tuesday afternoon.

In "Sex and the City," an early scene shows Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) poring over the imaginary collection, although citing real letters by Beethoven and Napoleon among others. Big (Chris Noth) later takes passages from the book as he expresses his love, by e-mail, to Carrie.

mythoughtsr, you are a ******. I don't know how much television you watch but there isn't any "intelligence and thought" in entertainment. You sound like a male? And you are the exact reason females watch a show like Sex and the City. We watch the show because you jackasses say things like "dried up women and the boring plot" we are your dried up women. And ... we find the plot interesting but men? like you do not understand it and thatttttt is why we want to read books like this. Are you an idiot? Romance novels and Soap Opera are huge. And you seem to be quite intelligent, why do you think romance novels and soap operas have done so well?

To Mythoughtsr:
I think it''s very sad, that you actually came on this site to write a comment like that. You''ve never seen the show but yet you judge. It''s called ENTERTAINMENT! Obviously something you lack,looking for books, and letters to inspire you...well there''s nothing wrong with that. I feel sorry for you really, I do, you''re the one missing out.

This reminds me of the movie "Bruce Almighty" a few years back when people were calling the phone number from the movie to "talk to G-d". All of this reminds me of a quote from P.T. Barnum - "There is a sucker born every minute". Since common sense is lacking in this society today, there is one born every second.

Anyone who professes ANYTHING to that horse-toothed hag is sick. What ANYONE sees in that horrible show, its hideous, old, dried up women and the boring plot, well, I''ve never watched an episode because I think I need a bit more intelligence and thought to entertain me. YAWN Very sad that women have to look for an imaginary book to read love letters from men. If you aren''t getting stuff like that from your man, well you are missing out big time. Oh that''s right, you''re in front of the TV LOL
