Two great classics in one handsome Nonesuch Edition

My review here is not of the novel, but rather of the Nonesuch edition of Dickens' classic. The book itself is a facsimile edition of the 1937 Nonesuch Dickens, and is published by Barnes and Noble. The book itself is in quality hardback. The "Great Expectations and Hard Times" Nonesuch edition has the spine bound in leather and the rest of the cover is cloth-bound [the color is blue-grey].The dust jacket is clear quality plastic. The paper quality is of good stock and is cream in color. The text is set in Martin's Type and the illustrations are from the original Nonesuch editions [8 illustrations in "Great Expectations", and 5 illustrations in "Hard Times"]. This is a beautiful and affordable classic and the Nonesuch Dickens Classics will enhance any collector's library.
