and Ms. ...thanks readers, glad you like the post. <br /><br />and Ms. Wis, I know of Virago Press, who also publish books by women, but wasn't aware of Persephone.

I think I have a link on my blog. All of their books (mostly neglected women authors of late 19th and early 20th C.) are covered in a beautiful gray (or grey being a Brit publisher!) paper and the endpapers are all textile designs. Each one is chosen from the era the book was published or has some kind of tie-in with author, subject etc. You can see all the fabrics and read about them on Persephone's site.LINDA from Each Little Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380944603357066650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-35942891332174948442009-11-22T09:08:14.243-05:002009-11-22T09:08:14.243-05:00Thank you, Altoon.

The example above of Japanese calligraphy that's "balanced between language and design" reminds me of Islamic tile work that does the same abstracting with words.Susan Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729773074834731314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-54586322104694427712009-11-16T23:00:47.085-05:002009-11-16T23:00:47.085-05:00That kimono comforter from the Edo period is reall...That kimono comforter from the Edo period is really sweeping.
