Wuthering Heights (Collectible Editions) by Emily Brontë
From the moment of his adoption by the Earnshaws, the foundling boy Heathcliff devotes himself to their young daughter Catherine. Growing up together, the two share a love that blossoms into romance, until Catherine's hurtful betrayal. But Heathcliff's emotions know no bounds and acknowledge no limits not even death. Determined to secure the family estate of Wuthering Heights as his own, the tyrannical Heathcliff vents his bitterness on his and Catherine's heirs, manipulating lives and shaping destinies under the influence of a passion that has curdled into obsession. First published in 1847, Emily Bronte's classic novel Wuthering Heights was acknowledged by readers and critics as a tale of dark romance as tempestuous and untamed as its Yorkshire moors setting. This volume is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an exquisitely designed foil-stamped binding, with distinctive colored edging and an attractive ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable and collectible, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for any home library.

The ink...
TAKE NOTE OF THIS BEFORE PURCHASING! I got this edition in the mail a week ago, and I'm in love with the feel and design of it. However, I was really annoyed to see that after just a couple days, some of the purple ink on the spine of the book began to rub off. I don't know how long it's been doing that, but I only noticed it once it got to this state (see the picture); I looked down at my white desk and saw a faint purple line on it that came off when I rubbed it. Now, I have to be extra careful when holding the book because I don't want to risk the ink on the front and back to fade away either. Oof.

Very detailed!
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, is truly good but it got confusing at times. It's basically like a romance,suspenseful type of novel. The 2 families which was the Earnshaws and the Lintons could've been normal families, if the love triangle didn't become such a dangerous thing. I also thought that it would be more easier to read if all the characters got tell their side of the stories instead of Nelly the made was telling it all. When Heathcliff disappeared out of nowhere it surprised me. But the man wanted love from Catherine,she didn't want him which was sad. Was interesting how Emily brought some characters in the novel to show just how love can be desperate and dangerous. Wuthering Heights pulls in you and surprises you with many things throughout the story. If your someone who love to read something suspenseful,romance this book if for you.
