Dear  Customer

Love is in the air at Sotherans this February.

 
 

Check out our list of 50 romantic items for the bibliophile in your life, including:

Classic love stories to remind us when Swiping Left involved a sword and the head of a competing suitor.  

Sonnets for when you're too fancy for a regular poem, and you know it.

Victorian cards oozing with matrimonial intent, and more frills than you can shake a dowry at.

The 'Britain In Pictures' series was produced by Collins at the end of World War II in a bid to raise the morale of the British people in a time of national crisis. 

Lord knows we could do with some of that right now, and what could be better than a library of affordable, stylish and beautifully illustrated books on the many facets of the United Kingdom? 

We have a nearly complete collection — view online here

FORD, Charles Henri [and] TYLER, Parker.

The Young And Evil.

Paris: Obelisk Press, 1933. An exceptionally clean copy.

Extremely rare first trade edition after a signed limited edition of 50 copies. 

Considered by some to be the first modern unapologetic thoroughly gay novel, this book also has great standalone importance as a historical document. 

Written 30 years before the Beats, Gertrude Stein called it “The novel that beat the Beat Generation by a generation”.
