{"product_id":"1925-shakespeare-oxford-leather-works","title":"1925 Shakespeare Complete Works Oxford Full Leather","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"93\" data-end=\"531\"\u003eA handsome 1925 Oxford Shakespeare in full leather, this single-volume \u003cem data-start=\"164\" data-end=\"203\"\u003eComplete Works of William Shakespeare\u003c\/em\u003e brings the entire canon into one compact and very display-worthy book. The binding is what makes this copy especially appealing at first glance: warm brown full leather, gilt-ruled covers, raised bands, a black spine label lettered in gilt, and the kind of classic library presence that reads immediately on a shelf or in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"533\" data-end=\"1337\"\u003eEdited by W. J. Craig and published by Humphrey Milford for Oxford University Press, this edition belongs to the long tradition of scholarly Shakespeare texts made for serious reading and home libraries alike. By the early twentieth century, Oxford editions like this helped shape how generations encountered Shakespeare, from the tragedies and comedies to the histories and poems. It is a book that works on two levels at once: an accessible reading copy of the most influential writer in English, and a decorative leather-bound volume with real visual weight. The portrait frontispiece with tissue guard and the ribbon marker add to that classic presentation. This is an appealing copy for a reader, a collector of leather-bound classics, or anyone building a library with strong traditional character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Author | William Shakespeare [d]Editor | W.

The wear is honest rather than severe, and the binding remains structurally sound. Foxing and spotting are present to the preliminary leaves and the title area, with additional age toning and light scattered marks throughout the front matter. The portrait frontispiece and tissue guard are present and intact. The text block is sound and solid. Overall this is an attractive copy with the kind of patina that comes from genuine age rather than neglect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51081557836054,"sku":"AMD-02744","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Drews_Books_3.3-3106.jpg?v=1772832501","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/1925-shakespeare-oxford-leather-works","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
