Included in the [bargain offering](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reading-cheap) is works by Rudyard Kipling, Emily Bronte, Chaucer, Edgar Allen Poe, Jane Austen, van Goethe and many more. While the authors featured are all quite prominent, the campaign is a clever way to promote some of the lesser known titles by well known writers.
