SHAKESPEARE, William (1564-1616). The Works of? The text of the First Folio with Quarto variant and a selection of modern readings. Edited by Herbert Farjeon. New York: The Nonesuch Press for Random House, 1929-31. LIMITED EDITION, number 1469 of 2600 copies printed on Pannekoek mould-made paper. ?The Shakespeare represents the chef d?oeuvre of the Nonesuch Press... a model of careful proof reading and imaginative setting. The best of ancient and modern conjectural emendations are unobtrusively set in the margin for the benefit of a glancing eye. This is the finest of all editions of our greatest poet? (Nonesuch Century, 58).
