Careful What You Order
I would like to mention that this page is quite misleading. This book is not at all the same as the one labeled "Jane Austen's Letters (Paperback)" for $19.79, which is what I thought I had ordered. In fact, that was the page that I had originally gone to when I added it to my cart so how I ended up with this is beyond me. When I removed this from the box I was baffled, as I clearly recalled a color cover and that it had been described as being over 600 pages.This book has a cheap cover and poor binding, and is only 112 pages long. It includes only the bare bones of her correspondence; that is, her letters to others. Letters to her or explanations of what events were occurring at the time the letters were written are completely absent.A word of warning: double check what ends up in your cart when ordering. I added the $19.79 "Jane Austen's Letters (Paperback)" to my cart from that page, but was charged for and received this cheap, flimsy little book. Looking at the pages for the books, it seems that the same reviews appear on both of them, and that they are considered one and the same. The "look inside" feature on the cheaper version even redirects you to a preview of the more expensive 600+ page version. Apparently these books are considered one and the same but let me assure you, they aren't! I will now have to go back and buy the edition I thought I had ordered. However, I will be using Barnes and Noble.com this time to ensure that I get what I order.
