Jane Austen’s timeless romance Pride and Prejudice shines in this 1980 Franklin Library hardcover, an illustrated collector’s edition trimmed in bright gilt. Chris Duke’s artwork adds fresh charm to the beloved Regency courtship of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.
The book is very good inside and out: pages are clean, unmarked, and tightly bound; the ornate gold page edges show only light shelf scuffing typical of four decades of careful ownership. No smoke or pet exposure keeps the cream boards and ribbon marker fresh.
Ideal for fans of classic literature drama, young adults discovering Austen, or anyone seeking an elegant antiquarian gift. This vintage Pride and Prejudice novel offers both reading pleasure and shelf presence.
