Martin Delany University has provided home, career, and stability for generations of Bennets. It’s 1999 and the latest generation of Bennets prepare for the new millennium, unaware of the changes the year 2000 will bring.

For Professor Elizabeth Bennet, that means questioning her position and dedication within the prestigious HBCU. She’s also tired of defending her rap music studies, especially to stuck up outsiders like visiting economics professor Dr. William Darcy. When her sister Jane takes an interest in Darcy’s best friend, Charles Bingley, she forces herself to tolerate him, at least for Jane’s sake.

Dr. Darcy, on sabbatical from Berkeley, looks forward to a productive year studying with one of Delany’s prominent Economics Professors. He soon finds himself charmed by small town southern life and, to his surprise, Professor Elizabeth Bennet. He came to Delany to work, not fall in love. Elizabeth’s Delany-Bennet pride wanes as family and work troubles take over. The constant clashes with Dr. Darcy also wear her down, but in a surprising way.

Prejudices crumble as the two academics relinquish to growing passions, but for Elizabeth, some offenses may be too big to ignore.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
