Gorgeously illustrated book about different editions of Austen, mostly cheap and therefore uncollected by traditional institutions, punctuated by attempts to trace the history of the owners of specific books, like the girl who received a copy as a reward for good performance in her 19th century school and then died shortly thereafter of illness. It’s mostly an obsessive look into the different ways cheap books were published, along with some incredible covers as publishers tried to figure out how best to sell Austen—the Gothic, Harlequin-esque and trippy 60s covers are my favorites.

A refreshing look at the publication of Jane Austen's novels over the past two centuries, and the uses to which they have been put. I have tended to think of books as their texts, but Janine Barchas has demonstrated that there is so much more to it than that. ( )

There was a time when books weren’t so readily available. When owning a book or books was a sign of wealth. Fortunately printing methods changed and books became more affordable but as with everything affordable is always relative. The Lost Books of Jane Austen explores the publishing of Ms. Austen’s novels and how they secured her reputation. It wasn’t due to those fancy leather bound books found in the libraries in big manor houses but rather due to the paperboard or “pulp” books published and available to the mass population.

The book is a fascinating look at not only the books and their myriad covers and editions – and the covers are works of art in some cases and in others they look like the illustrated equivalent of a tabloid photo – but also of the owners. Using geneological records Ms. Barchas traces the ownership of several books to tell the books’ stories. It’s truly interesting to learn how a book passed from hand to hand and how important it was even if it was an inexpensive paperboard novel.

This book would be perfect for anyone who loves Jane Austen and her novels. It would make an excellent gift for any Austen lover on your list. ( )

I am now unabashed in my enthusiasm for the shoddy and quirky reprintings of Austen's novels that were previously thought unworthy of critical notice. This is because I believe that Jane Austen's place in the literary canon is now so firmly and deservedly fixed, her reputation so robust, that it can withstand the acknowledgment that before she was great, she was popular. (Preface, p.xv)
