<DIV>I’ve bought a copy – because I thought I ought to. It has, as
everyone knows, an intro by Bechdel. But who edited (selected) it?
Buried on the verso of the title-p. is the editor’s name, Lily Lindon. She
is employed as a Penguin Random House editor, which doesn’t mean that she is
employed to propose editing books herself.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Does anyone know if the ‘Love Letters’ of Vita S-W and VW
with intro by Alison Bechdel recently published by Vintage is any different from
the edition published long ago, edited by DeSalvo and Leaska (apart, that is,
from the addition of intro by a famous
person)?<o:p></o:p></P></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
