Look at what I just found at the back of my recent read. Wish the offer was still valid...

I just got a comment from a new friend at Goodreads that these books were recently republished in France and Germany. Could the UK be far behind?

I'm amazed Sourcebooks hasn't taken them up in the USA.

We could have such a long list of OOP Sourcebooks to reprint they'd never go out of business. Anand, Pamela Belle, Juliette Benzoni, Stella Riley just to start. Feel free to drop hints anytime you are talking to the bigwigs.

My friend did some more reading on this. Apparently it's just the first book republished in four editions and I think some has be rewritten/added onto.

Secondhand Angelique titles can be quite pricey.[/quote]

Hm.. we basically gave away a few of these copies (ex-library however) in the second hand shop I was volunteering in. Guess we got 50 cents for them or less.

Hi there! I'm brand new to these forums, but I do have a couple of Angélique books (Angélique, marquise des anges - The road to Versailles - Angélique et le roi - Indomptable Angélique - Angélique et le sultan). I even have a DVD collection of those.
Also I own the Catherine series by Juliette Benzoni, plus the Marianne series and the Falcon series.
I used to be quite fond of these novels, as they are pretty much in the genre I grew up reading. As a toddler, my grandfather read to me from Alexander Dumas's work and I often fantasized about it.
