The full-face hardcover is more to the spirit of the book, then, being a work that uncovers more of who Darcy really is. It's all in the eyes (windows to the soul and all that jazz).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-1165668944320339602006-12-09T12:55:00.000+00:002006-12-09T12:55:00.000+00:00I like both but there is something about the the p...I like both but there is something about the the paperback version which just makes you stop and gasp.

What pleases me is that it is coming in trade paperback and should be available to more of us at a reasonable price. I for one intend to buy it.<BR/>AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
