GOOD IN PARTS
    

The Text, The Whole Text, and Nothing But The Text

Most of the Classic Novels were first presented to the reader either in three volumes or in weekly instalments, so the reader was used to the idea of reading the book in parts.  We have borrowed this presentation so that you, dear reader, can try the experience.  It may be particularly salutary for those who are a little awestruck by some of the longer novels...
