Printing Details
Hardback, with simple gilt titling to spine and small gilt crest to upper board. 18.5 × 12.5cm, 384pp.
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor, Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. This novel shows the folly of judging by first impressions and evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.
A mid to late Victorian cheaper copy but uncommon nevertheless.
Condition
Poor. The binding is heavily rubbed, the front hinge is cracked open, the inner binding very fragile, the pages tanned, and some marginal damage to the last few pages but with no loss of text. Just about readable.
