 I'll never let this boxset go again June 29, 2008
Louise Amkaer (Greenland)
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.

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! May 14, 2008

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 it
Like another commenter said: I can see Elizabeth Bennett curled up with one.

These little books are a joy! They are exactly the right size to read in bed. The paper and print quality is fantastic, as are the bindings and gilt edges to the leaves. I love the periodic illustrations too. They are supplied in a tight-fitting case - which is a nice idea, except that mine didn't stay in the case for long as I am half-way through them already! If you love Austen, you will love the quality of these books. And don't believe that all lovers of Jane Austen are women. I have really appreciated her stories for fifty years now. Thank you Amazon for suppying such a delightful set.
Ideal thoughtful gift for any Jane Austen fan. December 14, 2007

Beautiful.
I brought this set for myself, and i was pleasently surprised.
Each Book is small and compact and presented in Gorgeous Red and Gold, and delicate enough that you could almost see yourself as any of the Bennett or Dashwood Girls reading in the libuary.
As the novels speak for themselves, i can only say that this set would make a prefect gift from any Jane Austen Fan.
