I had said to look out for old Virago Modern Classics but had not held out much hope as books are Mr Tea Lady's nemesis. But he does love a charity shop... The only author I have heard of here is Vita Sackville-West. The cover of her book is beautiful and the Daughter of Earth image is striking but the other two are a little rank-looking.
I am shallow, so will read those two losers last.
Yes, I agree, this is the suavest LP cover that has ever been created. Champagne, brandy, a coffee with biscotti, tiddly cigarette and a single red rose. Looks like a special lady is in for a smoochy night.
This album is not Lionel's greatest work (I have all those already), but he always gives good LP interior:
No Lionel, thank you.
Oooh...excellent finds! Vita Sackville-West is also the only one I'm familiar with, but it seems hard to go wrong with VMCs. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHi Nymeth,
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I trust Virago implicitly. I am going to attempt some Waugh for your 30s challenge... A Handful of Dust I think.
All Passions Spent is a wonderful book.
ReplyDeleteHi Thomas,
ReplyDeleteThat is the one I intend to start first so I am glad that you said that.
