It is a truth universally acknowledged, that paperbacks are infinitely easier to read than hardcovers. So we had a thought...what if we take the stunning beauty and unique individuality of our special edition books, and infuse all that charm into a delightfully readable paperback form? It was an idea universally acknowledged to be awesome here at LitJoy. The result? We are now proud to introduce the first foray into our newest category of special edition books: Jane Austen LitJoy Paperback Classics! Coming holiday season 2024!

Now a mature woman, she must contend with her feelings when the man in question returns.
