A book full of Jane Austen quotes on subjects ranging from marriage and children to politics and financial dealings. They're not just from her books, either; the editors went into her letters and pulled some really good ones from there. Some of the quotes do repeat, sometimes in a very short time, but it's still a good look at Jane Austen for newbies-- nice short pieces to start-- and old hands-- ah yes, I remember where that quote is from!

John gave me this as a present and I love it. It has so many fun quotes and most of my favorites from Jane Austen.

Quotes from her books. Okay but not really exciting. Just read the books.

This will whet your appetite to read (or re-read) all Austen's novels.
