I definitely want more people to have the opportunity to discover and enjoy Persephone.

It's also cool that it includes a short story, which I think is a great way to get people to see what kind of writing and vision they're all about. Since so many of their titles and authors would be unknown to most, I think that's a wonderful hook. If I weren't already pro-Persephone, this would certainly put me over the edge, I think!<br /><br />Also, I agree that it was wonderful of them to feature so many bloggers. Then again, with such a passionate following, why not get the word out?<br /><br />I haven't signed up for the catalogue because I admit to feeling bad about all the trees that are sacrificed for those things, especially when I can get all the same info on the website. I realize that the catalogues are works of art in and of themselves, but I have been trying to cut down on my covetous instincts!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11477615688291798393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837109525874407713.post-48982640004371994542009-10-23T17:50:38.877+01:002009-10-23T17:50:38.877+01:00Well done us!
