Label, which section of the record store you found it in. Good weekend to you, too. When is Santa (you) going to get a computer at home? You realize it is really child abuse not to get one for your daughter... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 125 of 177 [austen]: Went into the chat room too late Response 2 of 2: Laura McCarthy (LauraM) * Mon, Jan 6, 1997 (09:46) * 3 lines Well I'm trying to get one from work. Hopefully soon. Mom has a computer at home so its not really child abuse. Okay the cd is from Angel records. I bought it at Borders Bookstore, but I have seen it at HMV. $32.99 (US). I found it under sountracks, I was originally looking for ARWAV soundtrack, but found this instead.

Topic 140 of 178: BBC Emma already available on video Mon, Jan 13, 1997 (13:53) | Dina (Dina) Invalid command: only I get a catalogue called Critics Choice (800-367-7765) and they are offering the 1996 BBC version of Emma (with Kate Beckinsale and Dominc Rowan) for $14.77. We haven't even seen it here in America, but there it is.

The BBC didn't adapt "Emma" last year. I think you must be referring to Meridian/A&E co�production, which was aired over here in November. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 140 of 178 [austen]: BBC Emma already available on video Response 3 of 4: Dina (Dina) * Mon, Jan 20, 1997 (16:02) * 3 lines Yes, you are right.

Topic 222 of 222: "Pemberley Shades" by Bonavia-Hunt, 1949 Sun, Mar 9, 1997 (13:37) | Bruce Rogers (Gypsy) Invalid command: only To anyone who can help: I am desperate to find a copy of the sequel to P&P called "Pemberley Shades," (written by author Bonavia-Hunt and first published in 1949 by E.P. Dutton & Company,New York) for my wife. Please reply to brogers@forbes.com if you know where I can obtain a copy of this very hard to find book. 1 new of 1 response total. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 222 of 222 [austen]: "Pemberley Shades" by Bonavia-Hunt, 1949 Response 1 of 1: Kate (kate) * Sun, Mar 9, 1997 (13:46) * 1 lines Bruce this will not be much help to you but anyway. I have a copy, but it is packed in a box in Australia with all my other books. I purchased it at a second had book shop in Australia for about $5. But I have no idea where you would be able to get one now - it has been out of print forever.
~Inko #10
I tried to find "Pemberley Shades" all over London last summer and had absolutely no luck - it is completely out of print. The only way seems to be to haunt second hand book stores and stalls at garage sales, etc.
~amy2 #11
I READ Pemberley Shades (checked it out from the UCLA Library). It's not worth searching for, sorry to say. Not that much better than Emma Tennant's stuff. Yech.
~kate #12
I think I agree with Amy. This is the one where Lizzy calls D "Fitz". Double Yech.
~Belinda #13
I'm in despair, I still can not find a copy of the making of P&P book. Tried all over Australia and on the net. If anyone knows of anywhere I can still pick it up could you please let me know?
~Belinda #14
Just noticed my email login's my currently out of action work one. Those with good tidings could email me alternatively at my home email: Bperry@cww.octec.org.au Or just post here of course!!
~Kali #15
Bells, try Jane Austen Books at jabooks@aol.com...it's $21.95 US through them.
~doone #16
where can I find the Making of P&P2-- the video?
~elder #17
Oh, Lorna, that is the 64-dollar question -- we don't seem to be able to get it (in the US, at least) from any source.
~doone #18
Well, now I'm even more determined.
~Yeago #19
Just got the Jane Austen Books catalog, The making of P&P is called the "darling of the internet" - What ever could they mean?
~Kali #20
Whaddaya think they mean, Anne? ;)
~Amy #21
Our rep with those ladies is as whacky as theirs is with us.
~amy2 #22
Or do they mean the "Holy Grail of the internet"? Which will never be found. Belinda, another source of the "Making of P&P" book is the Internet Bookstore online: http://www.bookshop.co.uk/. They delivered within 2 weeks to the States, no problem.
~doone #23
FYI to those interested in buying the old P&P (1940). I just got this catalog in the mail from Critic's Choice Video "The Movie Book" and they have it! only $19.95 They also have P&P2 (1995) for only $74.77 the cheapest I've seen it.AND if that weren't enough, they have Emma2 for $14.77. their phone number is 800-367-7765. I'm so excited-- I had to spread the news because I couldn't find the movie anywhere. Please don't post a message telling me I'm going to hate it, you'll burst my bubble.
~amy2 #24
I just got the new A&E video catalog yesterday -- there is a "Great Writers" tape which is a bio of Jane Austen - I believe it's $19.95. I can provide more details if anyone is interested!
~elder #25
Amy2 -- I saw that biography video listed. Do you (or does anyone else) know if it is any good? I am always looking to expand my "any and all things Jane Austen" collection of books & videos. ;-)
~sandysearing #26
Does anyone know where I can get the "Making of Emma"?
~Inko #27
Sandy, I ordered a copy from the Internet Bookshop at: http://www.bookshop.co.uk/ and it should be on its way. It may be available in the U.S. also but don't know where.
~sandysearing #28
Thanks, Inko. I was beginning to think it didn't exist!
~joanna #29
Like many others, I would like to get my own copy of The Making of Pride and Prejudice". Our local bookstore tried very hard, even calling Penguin (USA) to see if they could strike a deal, but nothing doing. They gave us the address for Penguin (UK). I also found it at the Internet Bookshop. They claim to have secure ordering, but I wondered if I might have the opinions of others before venturing forth. I really, really, really would like a copy!
~fen #30
Joanna, Try this for others' opinions: http://www.bluemarble.net/~amyloo/wwwboard/ppbb.html A very informed group!
~Susan #31
JoAnna, you can order through the Internet without giving your credit card number there. As you go through the order, you will see a phone number you can call and leave your number. They will confirm the shipment of your order by e-mail.
~joanna #32
Thanks, Susan. You're a lifesaver!
~joanna #33
Also, a big thank you to Jake. Lots of interesting reading!
~Susan #34
No problem, Joanna! That's one of the things I like best about the Internet -- people helping each other and sharing info.
