Win a collection of Evergreens Classics from Alma Books

Alma Books were recently voted the Bookseller's Independent Publisher of the Year 2013

‘Alma’s publishing is making a cultural contribution that cannot be ignored

What they have done with translated fiction is absolutely astonishing.’  

To celebrate their win, Alma Books have just launched their classics 'Evergreens' series - the series is all about making great literature available to every reader at an affordable price of £4.99 without compromising on production and design.

Alma Books sent me a copy of Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte from this new collection, and I have to say just how lovely these books are.   The cover is beautifully retro in design and I especially like the illustrations and text notes inside.  Despite these books retailing at only £4.99 - they really are great quality - bound in a very thick cover with substantial paper pages and text that is a decent reading size.  

Thanks to Alma Books, I have one set of four Evergreens Classics to give away here on the blog today. Entering the competition is easy - just fill out the Rafflecopter widget at the end of this post.  The giveaway will stay open for seven days, and one lucky winner will receive a set of the four books detailed below!

Why read the best works of literature in poor-quality editions or on a flickering screen? Why pay over the odds instead?

With the new Alma Classics series of Evergreen Classics, you’ll be able to own stylish and beautifully crafted editions of the greatest classics of all time, both English and in translation, for under five pounds.

Lavishly produced, with a wealth of extra material, new translations and a fresh editorial approach, the Alma Classics Evergreens will become the new standard editions for all students and lovers of good books.

Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights
A new edition to include pictures and an extensive section on Emily Brontë’s life and works

Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary
A new translation which contains a wealth of extra reading and visual material

More titles will be added to the series on a regular basis after the series’ launch in September.
