So I enjoyed a delightful read over several days. savouring the descriptions. enjoying the character development as well as the plot. At first I thought it was a childrens book. but after reading it. I think the children of today would have a hard time understanding many of the beautiful uses of the English language that Charlotte Bronte perfected.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Granddaughter Loved It!By Kindle CustomerThis book was purchased for my grandaughter who is not much of a reader. She sits down with each new Manga bvook and goes thru cover to cover. Based on that it is a great investment.10 of 11 people found the following review helpful. An exquisite book bound in genuine leatherBy Z HayesI have been collecting The Easton Press Collectors Editions for several years now and consider them to be one of the more exquisite and beautiful book collections in the market. Nothing gives me more pleasure than to gaze upon the beautiful bound books. each having that distinctive leather-bound smell. and of course. the gorgeous illustrations that accompany these editions. Aside from scouring used bookstores. I have also been lucky enough to find some of the Easton Press titles on and this Easton Press Collectors Edition of Emily Bronteuml;s "Wuthering Heights" did not disappoint. The book. purchased via a third party seller here. arrived in almost mint condition (even the bookplate sticker. which I found among the pages. had not been peeled off and placed on the inside cover by the previous owner). The gilt-edging on the cover and back is in a beautiful gold. and the book itself is bound in genuine leather and is a grayish black. Most of the Easton Press Collectors Editions come in distinctive colors. all of which are bound in genuine leather. so they not only make for handsome additions to ones personal library. but are also heirloom quality. and of course. make great gifts for bibliophiles.This book is part of the Easton Press series titled "The 100 Greatest Books Ever Written". The book contains color lithographs by Barnett Freedman and was published in 1980. There is a frontispiece portrait of Emily Bronteuml; specially commissioned for this edition. The artist is Barbara Sparks. This edition also includes:The Biographical Notice of Ellis and Acton Bell by Currer Bell (Charlotte Bronteuml;)An Editors Preface to the New Edition of Wuthering Heights (1850)A diagram depicting key players in the storyThe text of "Wuthering Heights" which is based on the Oxford edition (with the original printers errors corrected)All in all. this is a handsome leather-bound edition of one of the greatest works of English literature.
