Persephone Books — beautiful grey covers available at London stockists

Independent publisher reprinting women's literature from 1900s. Every book same elegant dove-grey cover with different fabric endpapers. While their main operation relocated to Bath, their distinctive books remain available throughout London bookshops.

Excellent discoveries at Daunt Books, larger Waterstones, and independent shops near British Museum. Perfect train reading discoveries.

Found amazing travel memoirs by forgotten female authors through their catalogue. Staff at good London bookshops genuinely know their work.
