Welcome to readers of the Philadelphia Inquirer
The Editrix’s hometown newspaper has a lovely article about the enduring popularity of Jane Austen, for which the Editrix and several of her friends from JASNA were interviewed.
It’s too bad that those not in the area can’t see the lovely layout in the print version of the paper with a photo of the JA Action figure in front of a computer displaying the front page of AustenBlog and a background of Jane’s portrait, not to mention the photo of the shelves of the Jane Austen Memorial Library and Reading Room–yep, that really is the Editrix’s bookcase with all those Jane Austen books in it. Now you all know how we can pull quotes and dates out of our butt so easily–lots and lots of reference books! And you can also sort of see our copy of L’abbazia di Northanger, too. (The smaller shot on the front page has a better view.)
