Book salvage


Following the tragic demise of Family Publications, some fragments have been shored up. Our constant readers may be glad to know that titles by an author at the Oxford Oratory are now available from the well-known Gracewing imprint of Leominster, seen here taking delivery of stock. This includes a good quantity of copies of the "Life of St Philip Neri", by his own PA, Father Antonio Gallonio, both hardback and paperback, one of FP's most elegant productions. But it does not include the new edition of "Newman's Oxford", of which virtually all the stock is still held at the Oxford Oratory. It remains at £5, of which £2 is a direct contribution to our ever-loving Reaffirmation and Renewal Campaign.

Some other titles were rescued by another author, and distribution for them will be announced in due course.
