Would the 1937 Nonesuch Dickens fall under GM’s involvement in the Nonesuch Press? Also, does anyone here have any of the 2005 Barnes and Noble reproductions of the Nonesuch Dickens, and, did B&N reprint all of the Dickens titles as the Nonesuch Press did?

>1 Bibliophile-I: Yes Macy was involved with the Nonesuch Dickens. Can't help you with the B&N question.
I recommend getting a copy of Carol Grossman's book THE HISTORY OF THE LIMITED EDITIONS CLUB. There is some detail on the Nonesuch period. The book as a whole is incredibly detailed and I check my copy when I get a new LEC because Carol has many details that aren't in monthly letters or other references.

>3 Bibliophile-I: If you get the LEC Bibliography and Quarto-Millenary, you won't need the Newman book. I got the Newman book when it was published, but it was superseded by the other two when I later acquired them.
You should also check out this one by our own Wildcat: The George Macy Imagery Presents The First Series of the Limited Editions Club.

>4 Glacierman: , thanks. What’s the Newman book? Is it similar to the book by Grossman put out by Oak Knoll?
