Sold by The University Society of New York, the set offers notable features such as a topical index, critical commentary, glossaries, and study notes by renowned Shakespearean scholars.Measuring approximately 8 x 10 inches, this vintage ephemera piece offers a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century literary marketing and book collecting.
