The title says it all. This is literally pages and pages of quotes from Jane Austen's works and her letters.
I love reading quotes from Austen so it was no hardship perusing these, but that is about the extent that one can hope for from this book. The quotes are about four to five a page, randomly placed. They are not organized in any helpful way I can tell. If this were fancied up in a beautiful cover and book format with pictures and illustrations it would make a great coffee table flip book.
I mean this as no reproach to the book of quotes because they are Austen's quotes, but I would not purchase this as it is just a random book of quotes that I could have assembled for myself in better order.
