Whenever I find my self in the area I have to go into Persephone, and never leave empty handed!

Claire

Ditto to the above!

The shop itself is lovely, and of course the books have great appeal.

I was glad to see (in yesterday's Persephone Post) that that article has generated a lot of interest. Long may they flourish!

I have only been into the shop once (and loved it!) but I adore Persephone Books and I have to say that Nicola Beauman is officially one of my heroes (assuming I am no longer allowed to refer to heroines) because her criteria for a good read is exactly the same as mine!

Thank you for an interesting read; I was unaware that Mrs Whipple had ten books at Persephone and on checking my holdings find that I have a mere six. I shall remedy that very soon.
