Lady Susan 8 reviews
Jane Austen
Dover Publications, 2005
It's Austen. What's not to like?
+ Lady Susan: A "Novel" in a Literay Tradition
+ Too short for a novel, but a good story
Lady Susan is arguably Jane Austen's least interesting work.
But, being Austen, that means it's still more interesting than virtually anything else ever written.

This 100th Anniversary Edition is just what it purports to be: a republishing of the original work, with original cover art.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn1 review
Mark Twain
Bramblewood Press, LLC, 2007
Finally materials that match the quality of the text
It seems that all too often literary classics are hashed out by major publishing companies who operate under the belief that simply because a book is well known it is no longer necessary to manufacture it with care. Many literary classics that can be found on the market are made with shoddy binding ...

+ True Romance
+ Great book!
Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books! It is not at all like other great novels -- it is great in it's own way. I was introduced to Jane Eyre by my best friend. I had read the adapted version first, and then my best friend gave me the unadapted Jane Eyre for a birthday present.
The book is about ...

Oh! The Joy of Jane Austen!

+ An Author in Training....
For those who have loved Jane Austen's more mature writings, this book is a must read. Compiled from Jane Austen's childhood notebooks, these stories are full of unmasked satire, and endless jokes, aimed to point out the absurdity of the novels of the authores' day. In her more mature years, ...
