I don't suppose you mean a book of her complete works? Or were you looking for a boxed set?

i would like a boxed set,i defiantly do not want one big book of all her novels that would be too big to read in one setting.

The Folio Society boxed set with introductions by Richard Church and wood-engravings by Joan Hassall is very nice to use. Seems to range from about $110 to $250 on abebooks.com at the moment - I don't know if that's outside your price range. The FS have often used it as a special offer for new members, so you might be able to get it cheaper if you look around.

For inexpensive editions of classics, I often buy Dover Thrift Editions. I think most of the Jane Austen covers are very nice, and the books feel nice (they flip well, and the pages don't fall out).

I don't think they have a boxed set though.

Well, it's from Amazon, but I can really recommend this boxed set:

http://www.amazon.com/Austen-6-book-Boxed-Collectors-Library/dp/190463351X/ref=s...

They are all small-shaped hardcovers, bound in cloth with a nice dust-jacket. I think $ 49.00 is a good price.
