A Little Black Dress
I clicked a link on Thursday’s Mirth in Manchester blog and found Little Black Dress. Having never heard of this publisher, probably as a result of its being in the UK, I was intrigued and explored the entire site. I love the book covers–I’d pick these books up from a bookshop display table in a second. And I love the publisher’s logo–how cute is that.
So I clicked the link over to Amazon on a couple of books and eventually found Lost for Words. Seeing its near-five-star rating, I scanned down to read the reviews, and found this lovely review–a poem!–by R. Dastidar of London, UK
Warm, wise and delightful,
A frothy romance,
I say this book is wonderful
And worth a chance.
Spend some time in the company of Daisy;
Publishing type, far from lazy.
Looking for love in a manner haphazardly,
An unsuitable boy causing melancholy.
Then an unbidden manuscript
Causes joy and perhaps a sight
Of a better love, one that’s right.
And of the question – how to get it?
Lorelei tells us with verve, style,
And definitely makes it worth your while.
How awesome to have a jaunty little poem written about your book. Now I want one.
All in all, a lovely avalanche of finds!

So pleased to have helped you discover Little Black Dress! I love their books.
If you haven’t already, definitely try Decent Exposure by Phillipa Ashley.
I’m busy collecting them!
I loved the poem too!

Little Black Dress books are great and I beleive they are coming your way….the parent company is Harper and I think they will launch in the US in late 2008 or early 2009 if my memory isn’t failing ( which it could be).
Thanks for stopping by my blog:-)

Yes, thanks for the info, Liz. But that’s so far away, so long to wait…
And thanks for the recommendation, Sally! Now I just have to get past the shipping. 😉
