Introduction & notes by Carol Howard. 2003 Barnes & Noble Classics Series mass-market paperback found at the gym.

From the back cover
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." Thus memorably begins Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, one of the world's most popular novels. Clever and precocious, Austen began Pride and Prejudice when she was only twenty-one years old. From the initial friction between the opinionated Elizabeth Bennet and the arrogant, wealthy Mr. Darcy, this witty comedy of manners dips and turns through its interlocking plots to reach an immensely satisfying conclusion.
Filled with highly entertaining dialogue, Pride and Prejudice is, in the words of Eudora Welty, as "irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be."
