A Letter from the Editor:

"Whether we've introduced you for the first time to books like Haldor Laxness's great, neglected Icelandic epic Independent People, or simply reminded you about more familiar books you always wanted to read or re-read, such as James Agee's masterful A Death in the Family or Walker Percy's The Moviegoer, your enthusiastic response to our Vintage Rediscoveries Program has stimulated us to keep searching out the best backlist books we know--and to bring them to you in attractive new editions that do justice to the excitement and quality of the writing inside."
