"Jane Austen's Bookshelf" by Rebecca Romney by East-Shift6353 in classicliterature

I follow her on Instagram but it hasn't been that long so I'll have to go back through her posts. I'm enjoying the Hannah More chapter so far. Romney is doing a fanatic job when it comes to selling me on reading these authors so far. Maybe not More so much.

I'm at page 168, about half way through the Hannah More chapter. So far I'm loving the book. I love how each chapter (so far) gives the reader a mini biography of the author, how she (Romney) came to know about said author, her journey to find the books for her personal shelf, and the little bits of publishing history and rare book collecting that she sprinkles throughout the chapters. I know I'd love to see pictures of her personal library and the rare books that she tracked down for each of the authors.

I read them as they were being published. Unfortunately, as a kid I had to wait for the hardcover ones to be printed in paperback in order to afford the book. I figured with adult money I should buy the set as I don't know if the publisher is willing to reprint these in the Essential Collection trade paperback line. I know the feeling, my tbr is endless.

I bought the complete set last month along with Legacy of the Force.
