I stumbled on Austen accidentally; my sister's anthology of Jane was the thickest book on her bookshelf. I was at a middle school age when big books

*sigh* Some men just don't get it. I was introduced to Jane in AP Lit (I know, shockingly late). Pride & Prejudice was my male teacher's favorite book. And at VT I took a course on all Austen's work from my mentor's husband. Of the three times I was taught P&P in a class, only once was by a woman!

My father, however, spits out her name like a curse and Hubby just doesn't get it... *sigh*

But my bff got me this book for Christmas! It's so pretty. I might have to borrow St. Matt to help translate the reproduced letters, though! ;-)

Have you tried checking the Lehigh website? If you can't find it in their online catalog, you might be able to email someone and see if it was ever bound somehow. But if you don't remember giving them a copy, I don't know how they'd have gotten one...

St.Matt has admitted that he *might* consider trying P&P&Zombies.

I'll keep you posted :)
