About this product
Product Information
Nancy Mitford was a brilliant personality, a remarkable novelist and a legendary letter writer. It is not widely known that she was also a bookseller. From 1942 to 1946 she worked in Heywood Hill's famous shop in Curzon Street, and effectively ran it when the male staff were called up for war service. After the war she left to live in France, but she maintained an abiding interest in the shop, its stock, and the many and varied customers who themselves form a cavalcade of the literary stars of post-war Britain. Her letters to Heywood Hill advise on recent French titles that might appeal to him and his customers, gossip engagingly about life in Paris, and enquire anxiously about the reception of her own books, while seeking advice about new titles to read. In return Heywood kept her up to date with customers and their foibles, and with aspects of literary and bookish life in London. Charming, witty, utterly irresistible, the correspondence gives brilliant insights into a world that has almost disappeared.

Described as very good condition, item received was in very poor condition. Message to seller was ignored and after initiating a return, I was offered 50% refund. Previous purchases from this seller have been positive, and I thought they would be concerned about such an unsatisfactory delivery. I was wrong and their shabby offer of making unacceptable goods half price was an insult.
Fortunately ebay’s money back guarantee served justice. Unfortunately for me World of Books has lost its ingrity

I received my item from overseas and the DVD had a split in it, from being sent in a cardboard post pack with no padding. I contacted the seller but no response so far. So not happy
