[Vwoolf] BL Discovering Literature - disappeared?

Wed Jun 25 15:27:33 EDT 2025

Dear Edward & Vara:

Thank you very much for drawing our attention to this "SP Books edition" &
the Notebooks.

As I was puzzled by that name, trying to figure out what it stood for, my
husband suddenly remembered that SP stands for "Saint Pères" - Les Editions
des Saints Pères, of course - indeed.

We had this conversation with Vara before (was it about this same MD SP
book, or about what title then, if anyone remembers?) - about the
advantages of investing in some of these large volumes that one will
want/need to read or refer to at a later stage.

I was given the *Recherche* by Proust as an SP Book years ago. Now I feel
that I probably might/should/will/could invest in the MD SP too, of course.
Did they Just raise the price to €200.00 though? (Payment in 3 x
instalments free of charge!). We'll see.

As humanists, one must contribute to the book & publishing industry,
mustn't we?

VW as a founder of the HP would agree. No one among us would dare to think
that

*Her* books were "too expensive", of course (mind you, maybe they weren't,
either).

But there probably were far more curious readers (including in France).

Imagine the number of trips to the BL that one would actually *save*...

granted "saving" would be the actual goal.

Thank you for being here, my friends. 💐
