So one doesn't necessarily have to spring for overseas shipping. I know that the LRB bookshop carries many, as does the Persephone shop. We even have some UK events coming up in the next few months: http://bit.ly/2bRsNgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-45252061288476416382009-08-04T10:27:55.585+01:002009-08-04T10:27:55.585+01:00You must try NYRB's the Post Office Girl by St...You must try NYRB's the Post Office Girl by Stefan Zweig.

I'm always envious of UK publishers and drooling over books I have to order from abroad, so it's nice to have an equally nice US publisher to drool over. I've actually got several of the books you show here in the same editions--the Compton, the Comyns, the Jansson (as well as a stack of other titles they publish). At the moment I'm reading a Stefan Zweig that they publish. A sale is a dangerous thing--thanks for the heads up--must check out their new releases!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-12278479880284936532009-08-01T02:14:23.712+01:002009-08-01T02:14:23.712+01:00Fabulous covers!
