Scholarly new editions of neglected works by Ann Radcliffe, Shelley, Conan Doyle and Forrest Reid…reprints of the rarest Gothic fiction, among them all the "horrid novels" read by Isabella Thorpe and Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey…a limited new hardback of Peter Middleton Darling's The Forest of Valancourt, a book so rare that only the Bodleian is known to possess a copy…a shot in the arm for the likes of Rider Haggard, Frederick Rolfe and Marie Corelli…and even a reissue of An Air That Kills (1948) by Francis King, who's happily still with us and still writing.
All in all, I like the sound of Valancourt Books.

Glad you found us! And although it's not very important, while I grew up in Kansas, Ryan and I currently live in Missouri. (Both are nearly equally boring.)
Hope you enjoy the books! :)
Good to hear from you, Jay. Apologies for the mix-up over your location - title of posting duly altered. More power to your elbow, sir.
Ah, one of the many small (or great) irritations of Blogger I have discovered is that even if you change the title of a post the 'link name' will remain the same.
So, sorry, Valancourt, but you will always remain 'Two gentlemen in Kansas' in the embedded link.
It sucks, I know. But wherever in the Mid-West you are, it sounds as though you are doing sterling work.
