Shakespeares minature complete works rare

Here is..........

a miniature complete works of William Shakespeare's Britain's printed by Allied Newspapers Ltd.

They were printed in the early 1900's but do not have a date. It also on the last pages of each book they have the name Andersons Edinburgh Ltd. Printed in Scotland.

The books measure approx 5cm x 3.8cm each. The spine of each volume has been embossed with the titles of the works and have a illustrated frontis in each volume.

The books are all complete and do not have any real signs of damage and the spines in great condition.

It comes complete with the book case which although i believe to be original i have my suspicions it has been painted at a later date. mainly due to the knocks you can see the orininal wood colour underneath.


The book case is in relatively good condition although has a few knocks and as previously stated may have been repainted black.

This however does not detract from the quality of this piece.

It is extremely rare to find the whole collection still complete and in such good condition. I have seen some sell individually for as much as £25.00 each. A conservative estimation of this collection is around £500-£700, however i would not be suprised if it gets more than that.
