Lovely! I picked up the Comforters last night, but I couldn't deal with the tiny print in my Penguin edition, so I went for a different Spark instead. I like the Virago edition, but I'm afraid they won't pick up some of her more interestingbooks with male protagonists. And I miss the days when they reissued authors I didn't know already
I agree about missing the days of reissuing obscure authors - maybe we are all just better read as a result of the internet. I think that the rights of some of the other books are not available to Virago which may restrict what they can republish.
I love books, baking and my boyfriend, and love to write about the first two. I particular love "forgotten" books, books brought out of obscurity by republication and those still languishing in obscurity. I'm currently reading my way through all of the Virago Modern Classics, but taking in other books along the way.
I have a wish-list of titles that I'd love at Amazon - it's not an exhaustive list, merely titles which I would like to read which I have not yet come across and am not buying from Amazon at present due to a spot of frugality!
