Almost any of the Persephone Books reprints (http://www.persephonebooks.co.uk/).
Not only the book that lead to the film “Miss Pettigrew lives for a day” (http://www.persephonebooks.co.uk/pages/titles/index.asp?id=38), but other books that cover Social history (“Fidelity” by Susan Glaspell, http://www.persephonebooks.co.uk/pages/titles/index.asp?id=22), Household management and “living during the war” books (“Few eggs and No Oranges” http://www.persephonebooks.co.uk/pages/titles/index.asp?id=27, “William and Englishman” http://www.persephonebooks.co.uk/pages/titles/index.asp?id=122)
Each Persephone book deserves time and attention, not only as a lost piece of history, but as a book that needs time and attention…(plus the fact that each book has an individual end-piece + matching bookmark, has to be the coolest thing ever….)
