B&N has released a new edition of many classics and the binding is just so beautiful, hardcover antiqued-looking, with gold leaf on the edges of the pages. Then the bf reminded me that we have no more room on our shelves for books, nonetheless really, really BIG books! :)Allie ~ Hist-Fic Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146943476204000055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-15158650261800989582010-06-24T13:36:43.550+10:002010-06-24T13:36:43.550+10:00Ah, War and Peace.

It is red and I thought that was quite nice as well.<br /><br />Nat, it's surprising readable, although it is early days yet.<br /><br />Lillie, this is my first time reading it. I can imagine though that you would get different things out of it each time you read it. I am contemplating a reread of Anna Karenina though. Reading this one has definitely put me in the mood for more.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-2701326821415222842010-06-23T10:50:37.298+10:002010-06-23T10:50:37.298+10:00That is quite possibly the most beautiful cover of...That is quite possibly the most beautiful cover of War and Peace I have ever seen!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873109350235219509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-25787751749648113522010-06-23T09:06:58.978+10:002010-06-23T09:06:58.978+10:00i congratulate you on your fortitude! i don't ...i congratulate you on your fortitude! i don't think i'll be undertaking this one any time soon. :)nat @book, line, and sinkerhttp://www.booklineandsinker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-79578064973384306772010-06-23T07:36:46.173+10:002010-06-23T07:36:46.173+10:00The first time I read this, I was totally too youn...The first time I read this, I was totally too young.
