What Customers Say About Pride and Prejudice (Puffin Classics):

My favourite book of all time. Whenever I am at a loss to find anything decent to read in the modern literature I find this a real comfort. A great read.
This is a great novel. The version published by Public Domain Books (ASIN: B000JMLFLW) as an ebook is a formatting mess, however. Line breaks follow pretty much every occurrence of "Mr.," for example.
This is my first Jane Austen novel. I have been pleasently surprised by this book. It did not dissapoint. New Years Resolution to read as many of the "classics" as I could. It left me wanting more and sad that it was over. Now I can't wait to read all of Jane Austen's books.
This is Jane Austen's best novel. The story is a mixture of intrigue and passion with an appropriate ending. The goog guy should always triumph.
There are literally thousands of review of Austen's seminal classic Pride And Prejudice out there already. This is a review of the Dover facsimile edition based on the 1894 copy.From the beautiful Hugh Thomson illustrations, to the embossed floral end pages, this edition is top notch. The cover is red cloth with gold foil lettering and peacock on the spine.The first page showing the opening line with huge flowing peacock is a work of art unto itselfIf you are a fan of Pride and Prejudice and long for a well made, permanent hard cover edition of the book, this is the edition for you.
