Picture book hardback Babar. As the foundation of their children's division, Random House purchased the first three American editions of the Babar books from Smith and Haas in 1936, and republished them as "Big Books" about 10.5x14.5" However, the $3 price and the large size apparently did not sell as well as expected, so the books were also reproduced in a $1 smaller 6.5x8.5 format. Described as a "handy size", this book is unpleasantly cramped and not successful as a picture book, but an interesting example for the collector.

'The text is printed litteratim from the First Folio, except in the case of Pericles and the poems which were not included in the Folio and hence are reprinted from the Quartos The Shakespeare represents the chef d'uvre of the Nonesuch Press, and is 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' (The Nonesuch Century). T.E.Lawrence considered the Nonesuch Shakespeare 'a most marvellous pleasure. I have handled it ever so many times, and read The Tempest right through. It satisfies. It is final, like the Kelmscott Chaucer or the Ashendene Virgil. And it is a book which charms one to read slowly, an art which is almost gone from us in these times. Every word which Shakespeare uses stands out glowing. A really great edition Altogether a triumph' (quoted in The Nonesuch Century, pp.47-48). The Nonesuch Century 58; Dreyfus 58.
