While wandering through my local bookstore last night, I came across the new line of Puffin Classics re-releases. Each of the titles featured below costs $4.99, and includes an introduction by a well-known children's writer*, an author profile, a questions-and-answers set, and illustrations.
Are they not beautiful? This is the best-looking classics set I've seen in years--plus, these paperbacks are only slightly more expensive than Dover Thrift editions (which usually run between $2.50 and $3.50), and they're a major upgrade in terms of cover art and bonus materials.
*Including Eoin Colfer, Diana Wynne Jones, Jonathan Stroud, Brian Jacques, etc...

Those are gorgeous--and I think I'll have to buy the Little Women one, just to see what Louise Rennison(!!!) has to say about the book.

I, too, am curious, but not curious enough to re-read Little Women, which I would feel obliged to do if I shelled out the money for the book. But the deliciously random combination of LMA's classic lit and Ms. Rennison's style is almost enough to tempt me....
