Persephone Books

In my spare moments I've been lost in the Persephone Books catalogue.  I stumbled across their online bookstore recently and had to take a few deep breaths to contain my excitement.  That's how it is with booklovers.  Persephone Books reprints neglected classics by mostly women writers as their website will tell you.

The books are printed with dove grey covers and beautiful endpapers.  Here is an interior picture of their store.  It is in the UK.

I've been carefully making my choice.  All the books are numbered and the forum pages will have an essay on the book.  They are up to Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Winifred Watson which is Book 21.  Many of the books are set in Britain around the Second World War and mostly concern women's domestic lives.

I'm totally hooked.  I hope it passes.  I have too many books already.
