This Week's Topic: Top Ten Favorite Classic Editions
This week was a freebie, so I decided to list my absolute favorite editions of classic novels. I am a huge fan of the classics, from Jane Eyre to Jane Austen, so I am always fawning over the new, gorgeous editions that seem to be always coming out. Here is a list of some of my favorite editions that I am just dying to own…
Jane Austen Vintage Classics
I cannot even begin to talk about these books. Oh. My. Gosh. I already own way too many copies of Jane Austen's books, but these are just too gorgeous to pass up! I don't know how much longer I can wait until I give in and finally buy these editions…
F Scott Fitzgerald Anniversary Edition
HOW GORGEOUS ARE THESE BOOKS? Seriously, I am in love with them! Not to mention, they all come with bookmarks that match their gorgeous gold covers. How I don't own these already, I have no idea!
Penguin Clothbound Editions
Not only do I love these covers, but I also love the variety of classics that come in this edition. I own Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and Persuasion in this edition and I love them so much. I've come so close to buying both Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice in this edition as well, but have resisted the temptation. It would be amazing to have an entire bookshelf full of these, though!
Splinter Editions
I remember seeing these a couple of years ago on someone's blog and being SO jealous that they had received them from the publisher. I love the watercolor images and how they're all in different colors. So cute!
Mr. Boddington's Classics
I have been obsessed with these for years and still want these editions. They even have my favorites-- Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, and Wuthering Heights! These would look gorgeous all on one of my book shelves, too!
Pink Popular Penguin Edition
In 2013, Australia launched their pink line of Penguin classics and I am OBSESSED with them! I am so jealous that Australia has these beautiful books and I don't have any in my own collection. I want them all!
All of these are gorgeous but I especially love the Fitzgerald books. So perfect for the subject matter and the time period they were written. I must track those down!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are all gorgeous! I love the Splinter Editions but my personal favorite classic editions are the Puffin Chalk. They're mostly children's books but they are so fun and pretty. Great topic!
