The snippets on the back of every single one of these books fills me with huuge excitement I can hardly suppress. They just all sound so epic and enthralling...
So peeps - where should I start? Since I've read it previously the boyfriend already has his claws in Great Expectations...
Wow! You hit the motherload!
ReplyDeleteToo true :-D
DeleteThey are fabulous covers I have to say, I am still somewhat scared of Dickens and really think a read-a-long of his novels might be my best way forward. Hint, hint!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover with the raven on it, a book of Dickens that I had no idea existed. Well, well.
Hint hint!? Whatever could you mean? ;-) Perhaps I need to maintain a healthy fear of Dickens as well given the size of these books and pick a couple out for a ... Dickens month perhaps ... ? (yikes!)
DeleteThe Vintage editions are gooorgeous aren't they? I'd never heard of Barnaby Rudge either, at least now I don't feel as much of a heathen!
Is this the Book People set? I have been very tempted by it as I love Vintage covers.
ReplyDeleteIt is and I actually have your kind self to thank for reminding me about The Book People website. They're absolutely gorgeous editions. It might take years to read them but it was well worth it. Little Brother Relish actually bought the Daphne Du Maurier set based on your heads up so thanks! :-)
DeleteThose are some seriously lovely looking books. Vintage editions are so pretty - much nicer than the penguins I've been buying.
ReplyDeleteComplete and utter book porn aren't they!? What better way to battle the onslaught of the e-readers! :-)
