Whenever I am at a loss to find anything decent to read in the modern literature I find this a real comfort. My favourite book of all time. A great read.
The version published by Public Domain Books (ASIN: B000JMLFLW) as an ebook is a formatting mess, however. This is a great novel. Line breaks follow pretty much every occurrence of "Mr.," for example.
I have been pleasently surprised by this book. New Years Resolution to read as many of the "classics" as I could. Now I can't wait to read all of Jane Austen's books. This is my first Jane Austen novel. It did not dissapoint. It left me wanting more and sad that it was over.
The story is a mixture of intrigue and passion with an appropriate ending. This is Jane Austen's best novel. The goog guy should always triumph.
This is a review of the Dover facsimile edition based on the 1894 copy.From the beautiful Hugh Thomson illustrations, to the embossed floral end pages, this edition is top notch. There are literally thousands of review of Austen's seminal classic Pride And Prejudice out there already. The cover is red cloth with gold foil lettering and peacock on the spine.The first page showing the opening line with huge flowing peacock is a work of art unto itselfIf you are a fan of Pride and Prejudice and long for a well made, permanent hard cover edition of the book, this is the edition for you.
