There are many versions of classic novels that reproduce the original illustrations. My entire Dickens collection is illustrated. I just read Pride & Prejudice, which was illustrated as well. It's probably more common that books these days aren't illustrated, but some still are.ALynnPowers wrote:I can't even remember the last time I SAW a book with illustrations, much less read it. Where do you even find these, outside of the children's section? I don't mean to sound condescending (I really didn't intend for that at all!) but I really didn't even know these exist.

The book I'm reading is self published and I want illustrations so badly.
It calls for it. The strangeness of this world could really support, and be supported by, some well placed illustrations.
I think sci-fi and fantasy could use more illustrations sometimes though.
Normally I don't really think about it though.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.
