Description: The Folio Society Letterpress edition of Much Ado About Nothing, Limited to 1000 hand-numbered copies. Edited by Sheldon P. Zitner. This copy is numbered 927. The concept of the Folio Society's Letterpress Shakespeare is that Shakespeare's text be magnificently printed from the latest "Oxford Shakespeare" edition (under the general editorship of Stanley Wells) in a fine large folio, attractively bound in green half-goatskin with marbled-paper sides. The introduction and commentary are reserved to a separate specially-bound commentary volume so that the text-volume remains uncluttered and harmonious. The volume containing the original text comes hand-bound in green Nigerian goatskin leather. In a half leather binding. blocked in gold with hand-marbled paper sides. Gilded top edge, and matching green ribbon page marker. Printed in 16 point 'Monotype' Baskerville, with Caslon display Set in hot metal and printed by letterpress on Zerkall mould-made paper, with marble paper by Jemma Lewis. The volume measures 10 X 14 inches. The commentary volume which includes the text of the play with full explanatory notes is bound in green buckram and measures 7.5 X 5.75 inches. Both volumes are housed in a Solander presentation box also bound in green buckram with a green leather gilt lettered title label. Measuring 15.25 X 11 X 2.75 inches. Number 927 of 1000 copies. Both volumes and the Solander box are all in fine condition.
