Jane Austen the complete novels, the delux edition

Jane Austen: The Complete Novels, Deluxe Edition (Library of Literary Classics)
This is a beautiful book. Since it contains all the novels it is a handful but nicely bound with a leather cover and edge gilded pages. Since it is a weighty volume it has to be well made to stay together. I am half way through the book and it still looks like new. An incredible bargain at this price.

Beautifully complete edition with illustrations!

What a DELIGHTFUL anthology of all Jane Austen's novels! I was especially impressed with the beautifully embossed midnight blue and gold leather binding of this edition, gilded pages, and the sewn in ribbon book mark. This certainly is a worthwhile addition to anyone's library. In fact, I've already recommended it highly to several other people. (This is precisely the new volume Grigg purchased in the hit film "The Jane Austen Book Club"!)

Included as a bonus are the original pen and ink illustrations charmingly rendered by Hugh Thomson, which are both witty and expertly drawn. They capture the essence of the time period and the stories superbly. In addition to all six well-loved Jane Austen novels, the lesser-known "Lady Susan" is also present in this comprehensive volume. To purchase this entire edition, with high quality paper and such a beautiful binding for under $20.00 is unbelievable! By all means, purchase a copy immediately for any Jane Austen lover you know. They will treasure this volume forever!Jane Austen: The Complete Novels, Deluxe Edition (Library of Literary Classics)!

Great price, lovely collection

This book can't be beat for price (you'll pay more for the individual paperbacks) and the binding looks like a much more expensive edition.

Just got the book....brand spanking new

I was so excited to receive this book in the mail and I've finally got it. It's beautiful! And it smells brand spanking new! The leather binding makes it look so exquisite and elegant. I have never read any of Austen's novels so I hope this book will withstand my man-handling of it! LOL
I'll keep an eye out for the spelling mistakes but that shouldn't be too big of a deal as long as I can still understand what's going on. The gold edging is also quite lovely.

Gorgeous Copy For Keeps

I was going to buy the softcover edition of Austen's complete works, but after seeing this hardcover edition, I decided it's a better buy. It's not that much heavier compared to the softcover (surprising as that was one of my concerns), it's beautifully gilded, with ribbon marker attached. The 'leather' covers make it less susceptible to stains. The print is a comfortable size and the paper is thicker than I normally find in these collector type editions so they won't tear or wrinkle easily. The only negative for me is that the novels are not broken down by volumes. Each of Austen's novels was originally published in 3 volumes. This book bypass that and has continuous chapters instead. Not a big deal really unless you're a purist.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Jane Austen's sparkling and witty novels continue to entrance readers today--as proven by the rapturous reception given the many film and TV adaptations of her work. Pride and Prejudice, Austen's most well-loved story, tells of Lizzy Bennet and her five sisters as they search for true love-a love Lizzy nearly loses because of pride. Fanny, of Mansfield Park, comes to live with her aunt and uncle in their elegant mansion. But she finds herself both out of place and in love with her handsome cousin Edmund. Can shy Fanny win him from the outgoing and charming Miss Crawford? Persuasion, Austen's last final novel, explores the consequences of giving in to the opinions of others, rather than following one's own heart. Delightfully illustrated with delicate line drawings.
