Checking out Bagatelle Books in Asheville and came across these! If only I had $300, the ability to fly them home, and bookshelf space… #whatthedickens @Cuilin

Soubhiville I‘m glad you found them! I‘ve found some great books there. 2d
Texreader @Soubhiville Yes it was great! We just got to our hotel in Charlotte. Sorry we didn‘t get to stick around to say hello. It was a very quick trip into Asheville. Saw the NC Arboretum which was lovely! 2d
Soubhiville I love the Arboretum! The quilt garden is so pretty. 2d

“If you've never read Little Dorrit before, you might want to save this Introduction for an Afterword. There's no way to dance around all of Dickens's secrets and revelations and still make myself intelligible; three sentences from here, I'm going to start letting stuff slip, so if you want to bail, bail now.”

As a compulsively responsible reader who always feels obligated to read the intro, I SO appreciate this spoiler alert! #WhattheDickens

willaful YES! The intro to Emma completely spoiled it for me! 2w
Lcsmcat I remember as a kid reading the intro to Romeo and Juliet before I knew the story. I was so confused about who died when! 2w
Cuilin Yeah, I always skip a forward or an introduction for this very reason of spoilers. And I also want to come up with my own impressions. If I really enjoyed the book, I will go back and read the introduction. 2w

Tamra I usually read Intros after finishing. 😅 2w
BarbaraJean @willaful @Lcsmcat @Cuilin @Tamra Introductions to classic novels have spoiled the ending or key plot twists for me so many times, but I somehow still feel like I HAVE to read it because it‘s an intro. I guess I needed the acknowledgment and permission this editor gave me!! 2w
AnneCecilie @BarbaraJean I‘m like you and have had endings spoiled. I think people writing introductions should acknowledge that there will be a lot of first time reads and not spoil thing. I once read an introduction 50 p before the end of a chunckster and the ending was still spoiled. So now I‘ve learned my lesson 2w

#WhatTheDickens

Ugh, I don‘t care for Mr Flintwinch at all also I‘m highly suspicious of Arthur‘s mother 🤨 I love the little drawings in a Dickens novel, wouldn‘t it be nice if novels had little drawings in them? I guess the costs for an illustrator and printing would be astronomical. @Texreader

TheBookHippie Just pulled my book out! I agree I‘d love illustrations now and again. 3w
BarbaraJean I would also love little drawings in novels for adults! Maybe that's one reason I love maps in fantasy novels. I feel like black & white line drawings wouldn't add too much to the cost... at least for the printing. There are some great YA/MG books that have little illustrations throughout (tagged is a favorite YA novel with small illustrations), so it seems to me like it would be viable for adult books as well! 3w
Cuilin @BarbaraJean Agreed. I also like annotated books as they have pictures too. 3w
