Description

This is full genuine leather bound in new and sealed condition, never opened or read. The first photo includes my own copy shown here for exemplification only. This book is the perfect find, perhaps the last one to be found in original wrapping. It laid in waiting for nearly 40 years to find its unique loving owner. The 6 plays included are: •The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet •The Tragedy of Julius Caesar •The Tragedy of Macbeth •The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark •The Tragedy of King Lear •The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice Note (condition check): addressing concerns from some buyers, I can confirm the book's condition by opening the box, upon commitment to buying it, should the book reveals itself to be as pristine as I expect it to be. 'Tragedies' by William Shakespeare is one of Franklin Library's ‘100 Greatest Books of All Time’, with wonderful attributes: •Fully and tightly bound in genuine leather. •22kt gold accents deeply inlaid on the "hubbed" spine and covers. •Heavy duty binding boards enhance the book’s durability. •Superbly printed on acid-neutral paper that lasts for generations. •Sewn pages – not just glued like ordinary books. •Handsome moiré end pages and a satin-ribbon page marker. •Gold gilded page ends. •Rigorous inspection at every stage ensured adherence to exacting standards and the highest quality. •Superb craftsmanship and commitment to quality. The appeal for collecting Franklin Library comes from having these attributes taken way further into the exquisite quality, durability and craftmanship, than Easton Press and Folio Society managed with their productions. This book is the perfect companion out on a park bench with a hot cup of coffee or snuggled up in front of the fireplace. Despite its all-inclusive nature it still feels very light and compact at a size of 6 x 16 x 24cm. Wonderful to hold and excellent reading experience.
