People and events

SEVERN HOUSE Publishers is the name of a new book publishing imprint set up by Edwin Buckhalter and Judy Piatkus to enter the reprint market. The first six titles are due in January, and the firm operates from 6 River Court, Redbridge Lane West, London E11, phone 01 989 1310. This is a ‘two‐man band’ enterprise, not a heavily‐capitalised new corporation, and librarians might lend a sympathetic eye to the first Severn House titles, hard times notwithstanding.
