Excellent idea pmath - especially North & South, which has always resonated with me because I am a tough Northern gal who moved to the genteel South of England, so I know the difference between the two cultures
Do B&N also sell DVDs or VHS because this could help boost their sales with American readers?
BTW How did you get those links to work??? It is so much easier than having to copy and paste.

Choisya, it's one of my favorites, too: it reminds me of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (another novel recently adapted to film). I assume you identify with John Thornton? I like him better than Margaret Hale!
Yes, bn.com does sell DVDs: I linked the N&S set. I used HTML code to create the links, using the URL as the title:

That's as difficult to type as cutting and pasting pmath - I won't bother Formerly we just typed the full URL and the HTML was added automatically. Goodness knows why they haven't enabled it here.

Oh no - Margaret is my heroine. I think she is the best of the Gaskell heroines and she is very well drawn as a feisty Northern lass - just like me

Yes, I like N&S better than Wives and Daughters, which is very popular in the US, probably because the adaptation was aired on PBS.

I never type anything if I can avoid it, to avoid errors. I keep that line of code in a text file, and copy and paste it into my messages. I then copy and paste URLs, titles, etc.

If PBS has aired Wives & Daughters you will probably be getting the recent BBC adaptation of N&S:-

Re the HTML codes: What did you mean by the URL and the 'title'? For instance in the link above what HTML codes would you use at the beginning and the end?

Yes, but the adaptation of N&S has so far only been aired on BBC America, which not everyone has access to!
The URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address of the webpage, and the title is the text you want your readers to click on to get to the webpage. You can simply copy and paste the URL into the line of code I posted twice.
