I ordered the whole Chiltern collection of Jane's novels. The size is very handy, the books are a little heavy, but it enables one to handle them conveniently. The covers are really beautiful and the binding of the books enables them to open quite nicely. I'm very happy to re-read the six novels in this new edition, instead of my old paperbacks, all different in shape and size. The only reservation I have is that the paper is a bit shiny and reflects light.

Another beautiful book by world cloud classics. Love their leather feel soft covers with the embossed quotes. Well worthy of Jane Austen's books. I highly recommend for any classic book collector.

The metallic finish to the cover is more striking in person than in the photos. The book is stitched together & not glued. The pages are sturdy with a smooth finish & gold edging. The only way to improve this edition would be by adding illustrations.

I love these editions! I actually bought the Pride and Prejudice hardback when visiting the center in March because I collect P&P books, and I loved the ease of reading it so much I bought the same hardbacks for Persuasion and Sense & Sensibility. I would recommend the novels themselves to anyone, as well as these editions!
I have purchased all of these Hardback Luxury editions of Jane Austen's novels. They are truly beautiful. Service was great! The staff are very nice people to deal with. Great customer service.
Essential for any lover of English literature. Stunning edition and a joy to own.
I've enjoyed Jane Austen's classic PERSUASION for many years. I purchased this edition because of the beautiful cover. The inside story is the same as any other edition, but the Word Cloud Classics series has the prettiest and most charming covers that look lovely on any bookshelf. The cover is a bold blue, with a pastel pink title script. (The photo provided for the product does not quite match the true color). The end papers are pretty, and patterned with a bold floral print.I think the text size is fine, but some readers may find it a bit too small.
I bought this for my wife during the lockdown. I knew she liked Jane Austen but she hadn't read this particular book, though had seen it on tv. She really enjoyed the book and as always the book was better than the film.
The story itself is wonderful -- this is my favorite novel of all time. (Hard to get into at first, but well worth the effort!) And this particular edition is my favorite as well -- I have several editions of Persuasion, but this is thin and fits perfectly in my hands when reading it. The version of the book that I received was in very good condition.
