This beautiful edition of Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen was published by JM Dent and Co, Aldine House for members of the Reader's Union. The books are undated but The British Library dates them as 1950. Sadly it no longer has it's dust jacket but is bound in bright pink cloth with silver gilt lettering to the spine.
It's in very good condition with light rubbing to the corners and minor foxing to the text block edges. The spine is lightly sunned and rubbed with crushing to the spine ends.
Inside, the pages are clean and bright with only some light age toning and very occasional foxing. Bumping to the top corner of the text block has caused some creasing.
The book features beautiful colour illustration plates by C.E.Brock which makes it an extra special read. He was the first colour illustrator of Austen's works. Dimensions approximately 19cm x 13cm.
The books will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.
I use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubble wrap is biodegradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).
