I think you all know where I stand on this question. No. Absolutely not. There is no such thing as too many copies of a Jane Austen novel. This is especially true when Chronicle Books publishes another of their lovely books that include ephemera from the novel. I already own Pride and Prejudice <\/em>in this edition and wrote a very enthusiastic post about it here<\/a>. Last year, they published an edition of Little Women <\/em>which I wrote about here.<\/a> I have been eagerly waiting to see what this year’s book would be. Imagine my joy when I found out it was a lovely edition of Persuasion. <\/em>The fact that I already own several editions of Persuasion <\/em>did not minimize my excitement. And yes, in the photo above, that is the <\/em>letter from Captain Wentworth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My lovely husband has bought all of these books for me. They conveniently are released right around our wedding anniversary and that makes buying a gift for me very simple. I announce that the latest Chronicle Books edition is available, he buys it for me, and we are all happy. Just in case you are wondering, I did buy him a gift too. He told me what he wanted and I ordered it. That is what 32 years of marriage does. I am not complaining though. It guarantees we aren’t disappointed in our gifts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sincerely hope Chronicle Books goes on to publish the rest of Jane Austen’s novels. I have a few ideas of other authors they could use as well. After all, my husband and I plan to stay married so we will need anniversary gifts for years to come. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
