The Annotated Jane Austen e-books

Has anybody read these? How good are they? I'm always a sucker for annotated books.

The ones from Bethany House Publishers?

I found the annotations to be more fan commentary then scholarly. I'm not sure I'd have spent more then a nominal amount on the books but the annotation were fun to read as a fellow fan.

The ones I am talking about are all annotated by David Shapard and published by Anchor Books (a division of Penguin Random House).

The one book I have looked at is The Annotated Mansfield Park. It is the only one my libraries have. What really struck me was that in the first two pages there were over 30 annotations. Plus the book has over 100 illustrations also.

To give a feeling of the added content in this book, the normal epub size of Mansfield Park is about 1Mb whereas this version is 198.5Mb.

On a related note, while searching the Brooklyn e-book library, I found that they had all of the Austen Annotated books.

where have you found the annotated version? All the ones I found claiming to be annotated, have reviews saying they aren't really the annotated version.

I've been reading The Annotated Northanger Abbey by the same author. The illustrations and notes are excellent.
