Pickpick

This book uses photos of 200 years of covers on Jane Austen‘s novels to show how books have changed over time at least in packaging & marketing.

Learned a few bits of trivia on Austen I‘d not previously known. Mostly left this knowing it‘d be a great reference to teach the history of publishing & books
