My favourite kind of courier delivery - a new book. Confession: I bought this copy of Emma for no other reason than the edition is really, really pretty, and it's even prettier than it looked in the picture. Having looked at their website, I'm going to have to try REALLY HARD not to buy a matching notebook. Stay tuned ...
If you're interested, it's published by these guys
