The Selected Letters of Bertrand Russell, Volume 1: The Private Years 1884-1914 by Nicholas Griffin
PUBLICITY TITLE
The Private Years sold over 4, 000 as a GBP25.00 hardback in the UK and RoW. We are simultaneously publishing a paperback edition of the similarly successful volume 2
The hardback (published 1992) was widely and favourably reviewed in publications including The Financial Times, The Sunday Telegraph, The Times Literary Supplement, The Spectator and the London Evening Standard
Our total sales of Russell books exceed 300,000 copies, including over 10,000 copies of Russell's Autobiography
Includes letters to Wittgenstein, TS Eliot, Russell's first wife, Alys Pearsall Smith, his lover, Ottoline Morrell and many many more
Strong trade potential - both volumes present a broad, accessible picture of Russell's whole life rather than concentrating on his philosophy
Each letter is prefaced and put in context by a short explanation from the editor. Nick Griffin's superb editing was a major reason behind the success of both volume 1 and the volume 2 hardback
