"NONESUCH PRESS

£10

Messrs. Dulau have been large purchasers of all the books of the NONESUCH PRESS from the beginning of that remarkably successful venture. They have thus been able to supply NONESUCH Books when the Publishers themselves and the Booksellers have had no copies left-an example of the special service which Messrs. Dulau afford to book-buyers.

Of the books already published by the Nonesuch Press-Meredith's Letters to Alice Meynell; The Book of Ruth; Love Poems of John Donne; Cupid and Psyche; Paradoxes and Problemes of John Donne; Ten Sermons by John Donne; the Complete Works of Congreve; Anacreon; Letters from W. H. Hudson; Poems of Andrew Marvell; Poems of Henry Vaughan; Genesis, by Paul Nash-Messrs. Dulau occasionally have copies, and they are always ready to report and quote for these books.

The remainder of the NONESUCH programme for 1924 is set out below. It is essential that orders for these be placed without delay, for in no case can a late-comer expect to be supplied, although Messrs. Dulau have placed large orders for all the titles, and their facilities are certainly unsurpassed. Particular attention is drawn to the proposed issue of a NONESUCH Bible.

These volumes will be limited to 1,000 sets; they will cost, to subscribers, £1 10s. each (they contain on an average 33% more pages than Apocrypha); and they will be paid for only as each volume is published.
