Title: Hard to read paperback
Review: After watching the Jane Austin Book Club, my wife and I decided to read the complete Jane Austin books to better understand the first movie. I purchased a paperback edition from Amazon.com, which arrived in a few days. The book, published by Penguin Paperbacks, has an uneven cut in the binding. The pages stick out like it had come apart and been re-glued. The paper, since it is a paperback, is an off white that with the small print is too hard for my aging eyes to read, although younger readers may not have a problem. In order to read the books, I went online and found the entire series for free since it is in the public domain. I am reading the book on my laptop instead where I can increase the font size for easier reading.The stories, of course, are worthwhile reading. More is understood than just what the videos on PBS and BBC shows, as is always the case when comparing books to film. But, for $[...], it is nice to have a hard copy of the books.
Is the review positive or negative?
