The lavender is blooming but we’re all slightly wilting in the London heat although we remain as cheery as ever — helped in part by lunches on the balcony — but mainly by you, our subscribers. We’re always touched and delighted by the little notes, postcards and letters that you send us from time to time. Here are just a few that have arrived recently.
‘First of all I must tell you how much I have enjoyed my copy of the Spring edition. As a new reader I am delighted to have discovered you!’ D.B.W.
You have the very happy knack of dropping a book through my letter-box just when I am casting about for what to read next. Yesterday evening I finished P.D. James’s Children of Men; this evening I shall read A House in Flanders.’ D.J.
‘Thank you for all the back numbers and slipcases – all arrived safely. I’m like a mouse in a cheese shop – everything is so delicious that I cannot believe the heaven I’m in! So hard to pace my reading and not read ALL in one day! I’m thrilled to have every wonderful volume – THANK YOU’ W.H.
‘A House in Flanders will definitely be my book of 2010 . . . The book is so evocative . . . Please keep up the good work finding such books. I will wait keenly for the next edition.’ D.A.
