I had once owned a copy and was foolish enough to loan it to someone . . . well, you know the sad end to that story.<BR/><BR/>My friend searched through several stores that dealt in used books in order to find a good copy of it for me.<BR/><BR/>She presented it to me for Christmas in 1981. My friend died a few years later but the book -- and her inscription inside the front cover have never been far from my side since.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-80228546771100204472008-11-06T16:59:00.000-05:002008-11-06T16:59:00.000-05:00That Harris Burdick gift was the best one I have e...That Harris Burdick gift was the best one I have ever given!Sheila O'Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859697259996394827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-28212842169226450382008-11-06T16:23:00.000-05:002008-11-06T16:23:00.000-05:00I think I have that edition of Jane Eyre.

It's way too huge to manage, so when I've wanted to read any Shakespeare, I reach for a paperback! However, it's nice as a reference. Happy Booking Through Thursday. I'm giving away a couple of books. Check my sidebar if you're interested.SmilingSallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479373067844173653noreply@blogger.com
