Just a general comment. For those of you out there that said someday I am going to run through all the "classics," I would highly recommend this series by B&N. They are beautifully done with matching cover styles that make them look good on the shelf. Inside you will find: <> A timeline of the author's life and important events <> A well written introduction, usually by a Professor of Literature <> Notes or related letters <> Maps or original illustrations <> End notes, comments, questions and reviews <> Related film or music <> Further related reading They are very, very well done. I might add that they are also very affordable, usually between $5.99 and $8.99, and a couple of times a year B&N has a "Buy 2, get the third free" sale. So worst case is 3 beautiful books for $18...not bad.
