Description:
London: Victor Gollancz Ltd. Very Good. 1948. Original Cloth. A Very Good copy, slightly rubbed blue cloth with prior owner notation pencilled on front end page, limited signs of foxing ; Among the great body of readers there must be many to whom Shakespeare is little more than a name and many other to whom he is more, but who sometimes lack the time or the inclination to tread throughout even one of the plays. It is my hope that this book may make conveniently accessible to such persons and others a representative and substantial portion of Shakespeare's work. (from the foreword) ; 12mo; FSA .
