Saja's List of Vintage Contemporaries

Penguin Random House started a list in the 1980s of notable fiction by some well-known and lesser known authors. The Vintage Contemporaries series is listed below, including most of the titles. Some I couldn't locate online. Happy reading ! Note: There are a few non-fiction titles.
