Doubleday Doran titles from the 1940s?

I have in my bookcase two marvelous Doubleday Doran books from the 1940s.

Leaves of Grass published in 1940 by Doubleday Doran. Large, green, illustrated by Lewis C. Daniel. It's a fine production.

Anna Karenina publisshed in 1944. Blue, two volume, and an edition limited to 1000 (of which mine is #200). Signed by the artist : Fritz Eichenberg.

The latter is particularly beautiful to me. Doubleday Doran published other editions of Anna Karenina in that decades it seems, but they are single volume inferior editions. Not fine press.

Which brings me to my question. What other comparable titles were produced by Doublday Doran in this time period?

I own The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini (1946). One of 1000 copies illustrated and signed by Salvador Dali. It feels more like a trade edition - machine made paper, reproduction of the fantastic and numerous illustrations is of questionable quality (there are lots of line drawings and about 17 full-page offset lithographies (?)). If it was printed in a more limited edition on fine paper it would cost thousands.

For those who care about signatures this edition delivers - it is beautifully signed 'SALVADOR DALI' and dated in his hand '1945'. He obviously signed the sheets one year before publication. Later his signatures became simpler and also there is controversy about who actually signed some of his works or even blank pages.

Thanks for your first hand report. That is still quite an interesting book for one's collection.
