I stumbled across Persephone Books when watching a book haul video on YouTube and absolutely loved the idea. Persephone Books are dedicated to publishing neglected and forgotten a stories and non-fiction works from the 20th century. They focus on mainly women writers with stories mostly about the domestic sphere and so are very much in line with what I like to read.
I ordered a copy of their catalogue which in my copy has 104 books, but they have just added 3 more titles! I read through the catalogue and found that they have some of the most interesting books that I have ever come across. If I could have known about Persephone Books when I was researching my dissertation I would have been spoiled for choice on primary texts.
The books are a little more expensive than the average paperback with them being £12 each. Having said that, the copies themselves are a thing of beauty with high quality stories printed on high quality paper and finished with individually sourced endpapers just to make them that extra bit special.
