The book arrived today, and I'm very pleased with it - great value for the price I paid, and in very good condition - much better than I imagined from their description of a 'cracked hinge' (which I can't see any evidence of myself!)
Thanks for posting about this originally Pete! I like the chunkiness and size of the book, and the illustrations are beautiful.

I think I've mentioned this before, but when I bought my edition of "The Play's The Thing" I had to build a special bookcase for it too.

Luckily, when my dad built my bookshelves, his design ensured they were of various heights. Some will only fit paperback-sized books in them, but one shelf easily holds 'The Plays The Thing' with a couple of inches to spare!
