Because a Scottish Printer Loved Shakespeare This amazing bargain is possible! EVERY lover of good books owes a debt of gratitude to William Collins, Glasgow printer. It was he who made possible the extraordinary book pic tured on this page-and this unparalleled opportunity for you. I ere in one beautiful volume are the complete works of Shakespeare-every word, every line the great master ever wrote. The story of its creation is a romance of love and devotion to an ideal. Collins had two great devotions in life: his craft-and Shakespeare. lie had become famous for the making of beautiful books. But, like every great artist, he cherished a par ticular ambition. It was to create, through the medium of his craft, a fitting tribute to the great est master of our language. This was to be Collins' masterpiece. All of Shakespeare in One Volume The result startled the publishing world. He produced the complete works of Shakespeare in ONE single, beautiful volume-plays, poems and sonnets; every one complete and unabridged. The book was hailed as the greatest work of its kind ever made. But Collins had not yet completed his work. He continued to refine and perfect his masterpiece. And here is the crowning triumph of his efforts. This new volume is bound in sumptuous soft brown leather, titled in gold. The pages are gold edged. A thumb index affords instant access to titles. The type used is large and clear; the paper of such exquisitely fine weave that 1.352 pages are contained in the thickness of only an inch and a half. A de luxe volume for a millionaire's library ?
