Peter’s Picks January 2025

Please find below an esoteric and idiosyncratic list of backlist deep-cuts from our longest serving salesperson, Peter Jacques. His only criteria for selection was that he enjoyed presenting the books to his customers when they were first published, that they embody the highest standards of scholarship for which the presses are renowned, and that he feels that they have been unjustly neglected. We hope that you enjoy browsing the list!
