Very sorry to learn of the unexpected death of Rupert Heath, a British literary agent who founded Dean Street Press, bringing many gems back into print. Several years ago, he added the Furrowed Middlebrow imprint, which I have also greatly enjoyed. I had hoped to meet Rupert for a drink when I was in London last June but the timing did not work. Here is a link to the obituary written by his sister in the Bookseller. Scott at Furrowed Middlebrow has also written about Rupert.
I know Rupert greatly enjoyed Dean Street December, hosted by Liz at Adventures in Reading, Running, and Working from Home, and I am glad she made time to organize that at such a busy time of year.
I enjoyed my correspondence with Rupert and his comments on my reviews. This is a loss to all readers. My sympathy to his family and coworkers.
