A Truth Universally Acknowledged - Autographed Copy

I think I must have read EVERY ESSAY EVER WRITTEN about Jane Austen to put together this book. I've put it in caps since the research was possibly excessive, but I don't mean it to sound angry since it was not at all a hardship because my happy place is in musty libraries with books precariously stacked to my chin. Of all the essays I read, I picked the very best: the ones that help us get to the very heart of why we love Jane Austen so very much. I wanted to cross the space between academia and real reading, since most academia is dry and dull and pointless, but there really is a way in which reading about reading can help us get more out of our favorite books.

About half of the essays are from the classic great authors and critics, and the other half were freshly commissioned by today's great authors and critics.

I'd be delighted to sign and personalize a copy - please send a note on the order page with the name of the dedication and any information you think I might like to know.
