Jane Eyre (Penguin Clothbound Classics) by Charlotte Brontë (2008-11-06)

It’s perfect, but the leaves on the hardcover ate more pink than red.

It's a beautiful addition to my collection. For looks only, but it does look amazing on my shelf!

classic clothbound book

The book very expensive, but It was written "Like new" so I bought it to complete my "Boddington collection". Unfortunatelly, it wasn't "like new" at all. The cover is crinkled, as if water had fallen on it (as shown on the picture, but it is more obvious in reality).... Ecohydro offered a partial refund in may, which was a good compensation, but never shown a sign of life since, despite all my e-mails. So I write this review in order to warn other buyers.

*This review is not for the contents of this book but rather for the cover of this edition.*This 2013 edition by Penguin with a dust jacket designed by Mr. Boddington's Studio is absolutely adorable! I love this particular cover because it is whimsical and feels just so English. It is a vibrant citron yellow with white design. While the dust jacket itself has a lovely, tactile, heavy feel to the paper, the circle the title is on is glossy and smooth. I love the font chosen for the title because it reminds me of beautiful old handwriting. Underneath the dust jacket the book is a creamy white with the title embossed in gold in a circle just like the dust jacket and the title and author in gold on the spine. The end papers are a creamy white. I am so in love with this book and even more so with the whole 5 book collection together: Sense and Sensibility, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Alice in Wonderland, and Wuthering Heights. I may leave pretty much the same review for the other books. This set is a fun bibliophile dream! Good luck finding a full set. Getting them all took me forever! Oh, I forgot to mention that the correct author, Charlotte Bronte, is printed on the dust jacket, but Emily Bronte is printed on the spine underneath. I can't believe someone at Penguin overlooked this!

I bought this book for my daughter's birthday and was pleased with it when I first saw it. However when I presented it to her she looked at it without the dust cover and it says in beautifully gilded letters JANE EYRE by EMILY BRONTE!!! She does not want to part with it as it was a present from me but I'm really not happy that the company producing this book employ people who are not literate!!

It was good!
