SHAKESPEARE, William (1564-1616). The Works, edited by Herbert Farjeon. London: The Nonesuch Press, 1929-33. 7 volumes, large 8° (235 x 150mm), titles within wood-engraved borders. Original niger morocco gilt by A. W. Bain, spines lettered and ruled in gilt, top edges gilt, others uncut (some variation in fading of spines). ONE OF 1,050 COPIES, this copy "Out of Series." The Nonesuch Century 58 (stating, with all due modesty): "This is the finest of all editions of our greatest poet." See also T. E. Lawrence's fervent praise of the edition in a letter reprinted on pp.47-48 of the same bibliography: "'It is final, like the Kelmscot [sic] Chaucer or the Ashendene Virgil.'" (7)
