Does anyone know if the 15th century morality play was ever published in an edition by the LEC or HP?

Not published by LEC.
A full list of books published by the LEC can be found at https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Groups:LIMITED_EDITIONS_CLUB

The Heritage Press did not print this, either.

>1 Bibliophile-I: No LEC or HP but I recommend the 1911 Medici Society edition.

Nor apparently by the Folio Society or Nonesuch.

Shockingly, I couldn't even find it in an Everyman's Library edition. (which hs to be the most unkindest cut of all.)

Edited: Thanks Ken, good to know.

>5 Django6924:, thanks. I’ll look into the Medici society edition. The reason I’m searching for the play is that we have to write a research paper on Oedipus, Everyman, or Othello. I’m leaning more towards Everyman or Othello.

>6 Bibliophile-I:
If you aren't put off by blackletter type, this edition, at a reasonable price point, was printed by the great Jan van Krimpen:

Were it not for the blackletter, I'd probably get this as my paperback copy of the play vanished long ago.
