I just love Virago’s and have been trying to collect and read as many as I can get my hands on. I don’t have any of these so any of them would be a nice edition to my collection. Thanks so much!

I would like a Nina Bawden, but I’ll take just about anything no one else wants since I get so little opportunity to pick up Virago books.

I’d like the Barbara Comyns if it’s available. I do pick up used Viragos whenever possible.

I am usually a fan of almost any Virago I read. What a trat it would be to own these…especially the Bawdens.

Dear Kat,
I would love to read “The Brontes Went to Woolworths” – new to me and I like the cover.
(I live in Canada. I shopped at Woolworths when I was a youngster. We called it and Kresgies, the five and ten cent stores.)

We had Woolworths and Kresge’s too. I loved their soda fountains!

You’re too kind. I’d love to finally read the Ferguson and whichever of the Bawdens you think is best. I’ve never read her.

I am giving you one that Nick Hornby either read or said he was going to read in one of his hilarious columns on books for The Believer!
