P&P comes in uncoated art paper, this one has a rose petal finish which in my opinion makes it better 'cause it's easier to care for.īut enough about that. The main difference, at least compared to my other 2 Deluxe Editions, Pride & Prejudice and Anna Karenina, is the material of the cover. If you have a Penguin Deluxe Edition you already know what you're getting: french flaps, deckled edges, and nice very tactil paper with easy to read print (the margin does seem to be a little narrower tho) (There's also a peculiar smell on my copy that i had never smelled before on a book but I'm hoping that goes away) The biggest complain i have for this copy is the lack of any substancial complementary text to the novel, you get a 1 paragraph blurb on the very first page and when you turn it over the "about the author" page, that's it! I've been searching for a while now for a copy of this novel, my first choice was the Penguin Centennial Edition unfortunately I waited too long to get it and now the shipping cost for every single copy available on e bay is ridiculous and i can't seem to find it anywhere else online so I had to settle for this one, the Penguin Orange Collection edition. Why did no one told me how pretty this editions are?!
East of Eden The masterpiece of Steinbeck’s later years, East of Eden is a sprawling epic in which Steinbeck created his most mesmerizing characters and explored his most enduring themes: the mystery of identity, the inexplicability of love, and the murderous consequences of love’s absence.
