Review of "Pride and Prejudice" {by Jane Austen}

(source)
Pride and Prejudice


Author: Jane Austen

# of Pages: 435

Year Published: 1813

Publisher: Many publishers

Genre: Classic

Summary:
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships,gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

Pride & Prejudice, which edition will you choose?

Here are just 6 editions that I found in one section of Barnes & Noble.
(I found at least 2 others in other sections of the store.)
I can see how someone would get confused as to which edition one to purchase so let's chat about shall we?

There are dozens and dozens of different Pride and Prejudice editions out there to choose from so how do you know which one is best for you?
Below are two of the editions I've personally purchased and been very happy with.
