GOOD to VERY GOOD
CONDITION
This sale is for a
quality vintage hardback FOLIO SOCIETY EDITION entitled “Sense
& Sensibility,” by Jane Austen,
with
an Introduction by Richard Church, illustrated with numerous woodcut
illustrations by Joan Hassall, including a frontispiece and with illustrated
endpapers.
It was published by The Folio Society, of London, in 1964 and is the
third impression of the 1958 FIRST FOLIO SOCIETY EDITION.
Sense and Sensibility
was the first novel Jane Austen published. She initially called it Elinor and Marianne,
Austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was
originally written, but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable
middle ground between passion and reason.
The story revolves
around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, who both experience the
excitement and brutal disappointment of love – but who react to their grief in
different ways. Whereas the former is a sensible, rational creature, her younger
sister is, in contrast, wildly romantic.
Jane Austen (1775-1817)
was an English novelist and one of the most widely read and most beloved writers
in English literature. From 1811 until
1815, with the release of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813),
The book measures 9 inches x 5.8 inches and has 285 pages (including illustrations).
The book is in good,
clean and neat condition, with a little wear/fading to the cloth spine. The binding is good with no loose or missing
pages. There are NO inscriptions/book-plates
and NO other ink or pencil markings in the book. There is no slipcase.
A wonderful,
illustrated quality vintage FOLIO SOCIETY EDITION.

Unwinsbooks have held down shipping prices
from 2013-2020 in spite of small increases in postage costs. However, Royal Mail Prices dramatically
changed on 1 July 2020, as a result of exceptional cost increases outside of their
control, so we are reluctantly having to pass on pricing increases for parcels
being sent overseas (primarily USA, New Zealand, Australia and the Rest of the
World).
These costs are a direct result of:
“Royal Mail, always aim to deliver the best
value international services. We fully recognise that these changes are significant.
This was a decision we reluctantly took but is necessary in view of the
increased costs borne by Royal Mail.”
If the Royal Mail reduce their charges in
the future (in particular what they term “Temporary Air Carrier Supplement
Pricing”) unwinsbooks will reduce the international costs accordingly.
Unwinsbooks always
obtain a proof of postage receipt from the Royal Mail. Packages over Royal Mail size rules may be
sent by courier (customer will be informed).
Goods will be WELL PACKAGED by Unwins Books
and dispatched once payment has cleared.
