Jane Austen anti-Modern Library consipiracy??,
This review is from: The Complete Novels of Jane Austen, Vol. 2 (Emma / Northanger Abbey / Persuasion) (Hardcover)
There are two similar in tone if not identical reviews on amazon.com and amazon.ca warning people away from this edition because it's not "complete".
Clearly, they didn't read the title past "Complete Novels" to the "Volume I" part which specified pretty precisely which of the six complete novels were part of this volume. I'm mystified. Surely anyone who's willing and eager (let alone able) to read Austen could understand it would take two volumes to publish the complete works? Come on, they average 300 pages apiece! So I think the two correspondents are agents of Penguin or Oxford World's Classics or somebody who has an interest in turning people away from the Modern Library editions. Oh yeah, a review: the Modern Library editions are excellent. They're complete (so you have to buy TWO books!), they're affordable, and they're durable.

Well-Made Book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Novels of Jane Austen, Vol. 2 (Emma / Northanger Abbey / Persuasion) (Hardcover)
This book is very well-made. The cover, under the jacket, is nice. The binding is solid. The pages are thick enough to stand up to many years of use. The print is pretty and centered correctly (an issue I've noticed among other publishing companies). It just seems like a great collection item, perfect for that special Austen-lover on your holiday shopping list!
