great Austen-ophile gift
Very nicely packaged collection. The print is of course a little smallish, but not bad, and the quality of the books is good. (Meaning the material quality, not the aesthetic quality, which you already know.) I would prefer the E.P. Dutton and Co. Everyman versions, if they were still made, but the MacMillan Collection is a good one, and I like the sewn-in book marker ribbons.

Beautiful
These editions are beautiful! They make great gifts for young and older adults. I like the dust jacket and the cloth bound cover color that appeals to both men and women. The books are small which make them perfect for travel. I was very popular this graduation/wedding season. Thank you Pan Macmillan for a beautiful product that is reasonably priced! Thank you Amazon for having them in your product line. Easy shopping of quality products that make gift giving a joy. Side note; a page ribbon should be required for all books!

Very attractive set of Austen's novels
As an avid Austen fan, I read one of her novels every year. I had an odd collection of various paperback editions and finally decided to treat myself to a nice hardback collection.

Beautiful, but came damaged.
These additions are absolutely gorgeous, and perfectly sized in my opinion. The font is small, but it's big enough that I can read it without too mush discomfort. The design of the books are beautiful and elegant, and they look so pretty next to my other books. When they came, however, the part where the pages are attached to the front cover was cracked in almost all of the books. They weren't falling apart, but after a few uses they would definitely be in pretty bad shape. It wasn't anything a bit of glue couldn't fix though :)

Great little collection
This a great little collection of Jane Austen books. The books are pocket sized, though, which might not be liked by everyone. The pages are also quite delicate and need to be handled with care. Nevertheless, I purchased two of these as gifts for others on two separate occasions. Note: My first purchase was a few years back and the box came in excellent condition. This recent purchase, however, the box had some corner denting and damage. The books are all fine though.

Great Little edition to a collectors library!
These books are so cute! They are small, and which makes them perfect for placing into a handbag, or a whatever you travel with. This does mean the print is on the smaller side, so be aware of that if you have a hard time reading small print. The little blue bookmark ribbon is a great touch!

These just arrived this morning and I’m already halfway thru Pride and Prejudice. I love the small size! I originally bought them because it’s the perfect size to bring along in my purse without weighing me down, but today I discovered an additional benefit: What an absolute delight to read something so featherlight! I also took the jacket off while reading as the feeling of the cloth in my hand makes the read even more comfortable. No wrist pain or tired hands from holding this little book all afternoon.

I enjoyed reading "Pride and Prejudice". Getting ready to read the rest. I am so happy I got this collection. The books do not even take a lot of space on my shelf, very handy.

they’re really nice but small

I was a bit worried that the books will be too small after reading the other reviews, but in my opinion they are just perfect. Easy to carry, I don't find the font too small and they look great.

I bought them knowing that the book is pocket-sized. The books are so well made and the cover is so pretty that I don't mind the size. In general, the collection is worth buying it.
