Jane Austen: The Complete Works 7-Book Boxed Set: Sense and Sensibility; Pride and Prejudice; Mansfield Park; Emma; Northanger Abbey; Persuasion; Love ... boxed set) (Penguin Clothbound Classics) Hardcover – Box set, November 24, 2015

This Jane Austen clothbound set is absolutely stunning. Each book is bound in high-quality cloth with its own unique, intricate design that makes the collection feel timeless and elegant. The covers have a tactile, durable feel and the detail in the patterns is even more beautiful in person than in photos.Not only do these editions look gorgeous on the shelf, but they are also well-made for actual reading—sturdy bindings, smooth pages, and crisp printing. It’s the perfect blend of form and function. Whether you’re a lifelong Austen fan or just starting to collect classic literature, this set is a wonderful choice that feels as much like a piece of art as it does a library staple.Highly recommend for collectors, gift-givers, or anyone who wants to enjoy Austen’s novels in editions that are just as delightful to hold as they are to read.

This Brontë boxed set is absolutely stunning. The books are beautifully bound with embossed covers and rich, textured cloth that feels timeless and luxurious. I am so happy to add this collection to my library. It celebrates the emotional depth and literary brilliance of the Brontë sisters in a format that feels both classic and fresh.

The books are so pretty in person!There is just a little faded spot at the bottom rightside in the spine of the "Love and Freindship" but it is okay.Delivered promptly from USA to the Philippines.

This is the prettiest book set I've ever owned I highly recommend this item

Beautiful editions- I bought these as a gift for my sister. I cannot believe thegreat price of these books. No matter how many times I read them, I'm alwaysready to read them again. As you get older, you really appreciate some of thesupporting characters more- there is always something you've overlooked inprevious readings that come to the foreground- orat least so I have found.

This is not a review of JA's writings, but of Penguin's design and the quality of their product.The books arrived in a sturdy shipping box, but there was some denting and bumps of the clothbound storage sleeve/box and the spine of one book. One designed section on the sleeve (the clothbound sleeve all the books are stored in) has been worn off. All this despite the collection being plastic wrapped. The sleeve is quite unsubstantial in strength for such a heavy collection of books, but perhaps I am nitpicking there.The book covers are lovely, to be sure, but indeed are marred on the back by the presence of the ugly sticker, or, if you remove the sticker, the presence of a glue stain.Each book has a nice ribbon bookmark attached to the binding.The paper quality is very nice. The papers are substantial and a soft almond cream color with clear font print. Easy on the eyes.I have been reading Persuasion for a few days. The title print and 'penguin classics' on the spine (not the feather design, and both covers are fine) is wearing off, which is obviously not ideal. I don't handle my books with kid gloves, but I do not abuse them either to the point where the lettering on the spine should be rubbing off after a mere few days of handling. At this rate, I anticipate all the books may lose their spines' titles depending on how frequently they are read.The set is very pretty, and I am happy to have them, but I wish the quality matched their prettiness.

Love the books! The spelling of "Freindship" in Jane Austen's story "Love and Freindship" is not a mistake, but rather a reflection of the less standardized spelling conventions of her time, particularly when she was a young writer.

These books (& the box) are beautiful! I bought them to give my sister her favorite Jane Austin books covered in beautiful fabrics and kept the rest for our home library. She & I loved the books & how beautiful the are!
