£22.90
Wonderful set of books - I was blown away when I ordered this set of Jane Austen books. They are simply delightful - had I known how nice they were, I would have paid twice the price.The books are just the right size for reading in bed (I cannot read the normal sized hardbacks this way as they are too heavy) and they are small enough to slip into a handbag.The edges of each page are trimmed with gold colouring and there is a handy ribbon bookmark so you do not need to worry about losing your page.I cannot stress just how lovely and charming this set is and would make a wonderful gift. I will strive to collect other books in this series because they are the loveliest books I ve had.
Great. - I love these books.I am a huge Jane Austen fan and i received them for my birthday and I love them, they re so beautiful a small.
I ll never let this boxset go again - The reviewer, who said that the picture does not do this Jane Austen set justice is completely right. The set is beautiful. It consists of a sturdy, fabric-covered box with all of Austen s novels fitted inside. It is a little decadent with gold-tipped pages and little satin bookmarks, but of course it is Jane Austen. And yes, the books themselves are hardback and covered with the same bordeaux red fabric as the box itself. I recommend the set to any one interesting in reading, or re-reading, Austen s book and any one looking for keeping editions of Austen s works. One thing, I would like to mention, is that the fond is quite small - as are the books.Louise.
Great set - fab present to receive - I asked for a set of Jane Austen novels for my birthday and was expecting the usual paperbacks - what a joy to find this - beautifully bound hardback, small books with a ribbon page marker, on bright white smooth quality paper (not the usual rough cream/grey stuff we ve got used to). They are clear and easy to read, small enough for a handbag. Jane herself would have approved - book s to be cherished and savoured. Nicely boxed and sympathetic to the age it was created in! A lovely gift to receive. Many thanks to my hubby for getting this so right!
Beautiful little books! - This set is a must for the Austen fan. These editions are made to last and stand up to repeated readings and schlepping in pockets or purses. They are smaller than a pulp paperback but the print size is nice. The paper is very white and perfectly smooth with just a hint of blue to itLike another commenter said: I can see Elizabeth Bennett curled up with one.
