Gilbert drew her close to him and kissed her.

From Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery

Always resignation and acceptance. Always prudence and honour and duty. Elinor, where is your heart?    What do you know of my heart? What do you know of anything but your own suffering? For weeks, Marianne, I’ve had this pressing on me without being at liberty to speak of it to a single creature. It was forced on me by the very person whose prior claims ruined all my hopes. I have endured her exultations again and again whilst knowing myself to be divided from Edward forever. Believe me, Marianne, had I not been bound to silence I could have provided proof enough of a broken heart, even for you

SENSE AND SENSIBILITY (1995) dir. Ang Lee

ღ get to know me: favorite films [3/?] » Crimson Peak (2015) ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Ghosts are real. This much, I know. There are things that tie them to a place, very much like they  do to us. Some remain tethered to a patch of land, a time and date, the spilling of blood, a terrible crime. There are others. Others that hold onto an emotion, a drive, loss, revenge or love.

Rilla of Ingleside by L.M. Montgomery

yet another public domain bind! I finished this one for my mom's christmas present. My plan is to make one or two more to sell on etsy or at another craft fair - we'll see if I can make it happen before the Great Reshuffling of Priorities in May!

The typeset is identical to the Anne of Green Gables typeset - the text is set in 10/14 Caslon and the title pages are Spectral Small Caps. Slight changes include shrinking the text size on the table of contents and adding a little flower illustration to make sure no recto was left blank!

I also used my die cutter to make a little blue paper flower for the front! It's not the most durable cover decoration but I think it turned out very pretty :)

The case is covered in navy bookcloth from Blick, and the endpapers are chiyogami from ChibiJayShop. The text is printed on Mohawk Superfine, as always!

This is the unabridged text, also! The copy of this book I grew up reading was the abridged version (the publisher removed "anti-german sentiment" from it), so it was kind of fun to read this version while I was typesetting and find the unfamiliar lines!

The worst part of typesetting was that the text I got off Project Gutenberg had no italics marked in any way... so I had to read through the copy I had here and manually find and italicize everything in the typeset... but having looked with such a close eye on everything, the typeset is pretty ding dang solid haha very few mistakes!!! so that's the bright side
