The Read List |
The Blue List |
The 'Read List' is our selection of reprinted titles, the kind that might not raise too many eyebrows reading on the bus. We're leaping freely between the genres, always caught by the odd and the exciting, and especially interested in early examples of a genre that later blossomed.
Current titles: It Happened In Egypt The Mummy! The Mudfog Papers Violet Strange The Story of Mary MacLane |
The 'Blue List' is our naughtier list - for when you're feeling in the mood for something a little bit, well... blue. The Victorian era, far from being the straight-laiced time many image, was a heydey of erotica and pornography, and we've brought some of its finest examples to print.
Current titles: My Secret Life The Exploits of Miss Coote The Romance of Lust Colonel Spanker ...more titles to be announced! |
