In response to Looking for P&P, written by Caroline on November 16, 1997 at 10:13:42

] Listen, My husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas. What I really want is a copy of P&P. Not a cheap paperback one, that will fall to bits in two readings, but a properly bound, maybe leather covered, one that falls open at a certain page and stays there,will survive if I fall asleep over it in bed,and , ideally,has some commentary by some learned person at the back. Does such a thing exist, any more?


Caroline I take it you are familiar with the Chapman edition? Oxofrd!
If you are, maybe I can excite the interest of someone else?
It is not leather, at least not the version I got, but, it is illustrated, early nineteenth-century plates,has blue cover, nice paper and has got notes on Jane's text, index of characters(from Darcy to Sally, who is no doubt Mrs Forster's maid), notes on illustrations, chronology, a chapter on modes of address, feigned places... Can you tell I love it!!
I have borrowed the library copy several times and this summer I bought my own!!(£10.99)
ISBN 0-19-254702-x
