Does anyone know where I can find a set of high quality set of Jane Austen books? I've looked on Folio Society but they only do 2 novels, not all 6.

Do you mean brand new or collectable? If it's the latter, then you could look at www.abebooks.co.uk

Great, thanks.

Any views on the Oxford Illustrated set vs the Collectors Library?

The older Folio editions are lovely - illustrated by Joan Hassall. I have a three book set with maroon spines and gilt titles -do check out Ebay too.
