![]() Nice images! The handmade paper for the 1933 Don Quixote is stunning and definitely adds heft to this set. Please let me know if there are any issues with this, as I am trying out a different way to host the high-res photos.) (You should be able to click these images to access higher-resolution photos. I know board members can probably easily find pictures of this edition by searching the web, but here are a few of this particular copy. It was printed in Barcelona by Oliva de Vilanova. The print quality is also remarkable, not just the type but the deepness of the blacks in the illustration prints as well.

In this thread, Django writes that the 1933 edition (this set) might use some of the finest paper of any LEC publication. There is a long thread on the Macy board comparing the two LEC editions. Book two is in some ways a more complex work (it assumes that characters within have read the first part!) and so it feels fitting to have them printed as physically separate objects. This is a book which I think benefits from being divided into several volumes, and not only because it has substantial length, but also because the two parts were written as separate works, published 10 years apart in the original Spanish. I have had my eye on this one for a while, as it is the Ormsby translation, and is printed single column, unlike the later, often more affordable 1950 LEC printing, which is printed in two columns.
