1) Hardcover Book Jane Austen 6-book Boxed Set: "Emma", "Pride and Prejudice", "Sense and Sensibility", "Persuasion", "Mansfield Park" and "Northanger Abbey" (Collector's Library) by CRW Publishing Limited. Facts: Each book is approximately a tad smaller than 4" x 6", each of varying thickness. All have gold leaf (edging). The pages are thin. The font is small but clear. The books are fiber hardcover, and have a matte paper dust jacket. Each has a dark red satin ribbon bookmark. There are a few 19th-century style illustrations in each volume.

My opinion: I absolutely love this set. The publisher was "Collector´s Library" under the Barnes & Noble umbrella, and they made several classics with the same book binding style. There is a more contemporary feel to the books than the classic Oxford Illustrated volumes (which are also fabulous) because they don´t contain anything fancy.

This is the sort of set that you would treat well and wouldn´t mind reading repeatedly, but for which you might hesitate to loan to someone else because it´s so nice. It´s not a throwaway paperback. If you want explanations, extras, and heirloom quality, go see the Oxford set. If you want something simple, sturdy, small and cute, go with this one.¤

Very good...

This set is just what I wanted! It´s a bit smaller than I imagined, but it´s beautiful. Each book is light, and although I haven´t started reading them yet, I can tell they´ll be very easy to read as they are easy to keep open. I can´t wait to start reading them!¤

4) Hardcover Book Jane Austen 6-book Boxed Set: "Emma", "Pride and Prejudice", "Sense and Sensibility", "Persuasion", "Mansfield Park" and "Northanger Abbey" (Collector's Library) by CRW Publishing Limited. I ordered this set from an Amazon vendor in the UK Brown-Books-UK. Despite being in England they only took ten days to arrive in well-packed perfect condition. This set really is exquisite, the books are smaller in size (like books were in Jane Austen´s day) than today´s format. The box and each book are covered in fabric, the paper quality and print are excellent with gold edges, plus each book has an attached ribbon book mark. One couldn´t ask for a more pleasing set. The stories, of course, speak for themselves to which any Jane Austen fan could attest. I would highly recommend this set to anybody wishing to purchase a Jane Austen set for either themselves or as a gift.¤

The order went thru to an Amazon bookselling company in England. Couldn´t be more pleased with their efforts. It took a while for the books to arrived, and I inquired too early as to a shipment date. They arrived the next day, by air mail. Good people, good books - a graduation present for my granddaughter.¤
