Pride and Prejudice
2 journalers for this copy...
Many consider this rich social commentary to be Jane Austen's finest novel. It is certainly among her more famous ones. Austen sets her entertaining study of manners and misconceptions against the backdrop of a class-conscious society in 18th-century England.
Spirited, intelligent Elizabeth Bennet is alternately enchanted and affronted by Mr. Darcy. She is quick to suspend her usual, more rational judgment when it comes to him. She also is quick to believe the worst gossip about this haughty, opinionated man, who soon manages to alienate Elizabeth and her family. But is the condescending air that Mr. Darcy wars an indication of his real character? Or has Elizabeth's pride gotten in the way of her chance for true romance?

I knew nothing about Book Crossing until I bought this book. I bought it at Gulliver's Books in Fairbanks, AK. It cost me $1.95 and the original price was 45 cents. It's in really, really great shape for being a paperback that was published in 1960.
