This collector's edition invites fans into the world of Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet. A luxurious, cloth-bound, two-volume set includes beautiful replicas of the characters' letters, along with all-new memorabilia, such as the Darcys' marriage certificate and an invitation to the ball at Netherfield.

Pride and Prejudice is one of the most beloved books of all time, and nothing captures the vivid emotion and sharp wit of Jane Austen’s novel better than the characters’ correspondence. It is, after all, Darcy’s heartfelt letter that ultimately changes Elizabeth’s feelings from hostility and suspicion to respect and love.

Barbara Heller’s specially curated edition, first published in 2020, brought these letters to life and became a favorite among fans. Throughout the novel, there are pockets containing handwritten replicas of nineteen letters, from Mr. Collins’s charming letter of introduction to Jane’s urgent message about Lydia’s elopement. Readers can remove each piece, read its contents, and feel as if they are at the breakfast table at Longbourn.

Now, this collector's edition features a beautiful cloth cover, high-quality paper, and new printed memorabilia that add an extra dimension to the reading experience:

• A newspaper clipping announcing that Netherfield Park is available for rent
• An invitation to the ball at Netherfield
• An illustrated guide to Pemberley
• Darcy and Elizabeth’s marriage license
• The first four pages of Austen’s unfinished novel The Watsons
• Heller's research notes offer fascinating insights into how she gave each letter the character’s unique personality and recreated historical postage marks.

Explore the history further with guest essays by Philip Palmer, curator and department head at the Morgan Library & Museum, and Dr. Juliette Wells, curator of the Morgan’s 2025 exhibition of Austen’s original letters, A Lively Mind: Jane Austen at 250.

For anyone who loves Austen, and for those who still cherish the joy of writing letters or collect printed memorabilia, this book provides an immersive experience of a beloved story.
