This is brilliant, Shem! I shall have to link to this post, in case you ever take your link down.

Still can't find any bloody Heyers at the library, used bookstore, or new bookstores. Hmph.

They are hard to find - I saw Black Sheep and Venetia at my closest thrift store last week, at only 50 cents each - if you would like them I'll go and see if they still have them. (I had just bought Black Sheep at the Sally Ann for a buck so I was a bit miffed) I have an extra copy of The Foundling, too, if you'd like it. (and an exrta one of Frederica that had been torn in half and taped together - long story)

Really? You have spares? I'd be thrilled and delighted if you'd send 'em along! Email me at wendybarron@livejournal.com and I'll email you my snail mail addy!

*hugs you fervently*

Link away.

And I know that Harlequin released a whole bunch of heyers, a couple of years ago, so I'm suprised you can't find them....they'd totally be in the romance section though and the covers (at least the ones in Australia I have 2) are truly appalling but well at least they are Heyers.

Thanks Shem!!!!

Thank you Shem. Brilliant synopsis. Have printed down to refer to.

I keep on re-reading the books. Different ones for different moods and stress levels - plus different memories linked to different books.

Also, keep two (almost full sets) so if the mood takes me at parents I know I have a copy of whatever Heyer I fancy. Mum is also an Heyer-head. She and her best friend from Uni built up impressive collection between them and because Auntie P’s daughter and my sister do not indulge I have inherited collection, which I have added to. She’s still gloating because I (stupidly) turned my nose up at GH for years (how wrong I was).

So cheap to collect second hand - turned into hobby obsession at Uni. Most of the copies I own are the Pan paperbacks from the 1960s - some of them are such brilliant colours nad the illustrations are quite good too.

Different books remind me of different things:

An Infamous Army - Dad knew I wanted but could not lay hands on second hand copy so ordered specially and presented as good luck prezzie for

Rule/Lethbridge...omg yes.

As I said I adore the tension between those too...

(Though A Quiet Gentleman has been spoiled for me by subtext ;) )

Kissing cousins?

Cannot stant what's her name. So glad Gervase saw worth of non spoilt ordinary girl.

The Toll-Gate - disjointed yes but still love. Think because I saw potential for Toll-Gate/Pride & Prejudice crossover. I failed in writing process but still do like.

I still have the notes we made for that story (we were going to collaborate) as well as the copy you sent me. *grin* I am still tempted to try and make something of it - although the copyright for Heyer is still valid, so posting it would be a problem.

1930s mysteries

Stick to Aggie Christie or Niago Marsh.
