From the Desk of Jane Austen: 100 Postcards

The design of these postcards, and even the box they're stored in, are beautiful. The card quality is average but that doesn't personally bother me as I'm using these as "Save the Date" pre-invites.I do have a couple of issues which these postcards. This is why I have given this product 3 stars. Firstly, there wasn't 100 postcards. Like another reviwer has mentioned, there was actually 96. For a "high-end" gift/stationary supplier, that is rather poor quality control.My other issue is that some of the quotes are actually not Jane Austen quotes! The ones I've spotted are from film adaptations or are common mis-quotations. One of these quotes was referenced as to being in one of her letters... turns out it was actually from a movie. I am disappointed by the lack of research from the designer. I think their research consisted of just a google search.

Beautifully illustrated cards that would do any Jane Austen collection proud. I love them. They come in a box in the shape and the appearance of a book.

I bought these as presents for a couple of die-hard Austen fan friends of mine. The gifts were well received. The quotes are great, the quality of the card is good and the presentation box is study. On the other hand, the colour palette is fairly basic and I did wonder, even I as I added them to my 'basket,' who sends 100 postcards these days... Not many of us. Sets of 25 postcards for a quarter of the price would be better in my view.

These cards and the box are sturdy, and the quotes are Jane Austen's finest, from her novels and letters. There are 25 quotes repeated 4 times in varying colour schemes. The only reason I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars is that the colours (autumn-y, muted) are not my favourite combinations (the box gives you an idea of the colour scheme).

This was a gift to a Jane Austen enthusiast. I received several of the cards from the gift recipient, who is delighted with them. The pithy Austen quotations bring many a smile - even to one who is not a particular Jane Austen fan.
