"Don't BUY THIS BOOK" according to Catherine Valentine. I have several things to say about this. Charles Dickens is an excellent writer, but I ordered this for English class, and I could not use it.

The B&N edition is beautiful. The cover is embossed with gold and silver, the edges of the pages are gilded. No illustrations are included, but that doesn't de.
