Nelson’s "New Century" Library.
NELSON 'S
INDIA PAPER
EDITIONS.
Large-Type Pocket-Sized Volumes,
In Various Bindings, Cloth and Leather.
The New Century Library is the most popular and best-known series of books printed on India Paper.
The first attempt to provide the public with India Paper Editions of standard authors at a popular price, it was an immediate success, and remains unequalled in spite of the many "thin paper" reprints now so much in vogue.
To give an idea of what can be accomplished by the use of Nelson's genuine India Paper (not merely "thin paper"), the Pickwick Papers, covering 845 pages in the large clear type used in this paragraph, are compressed into a neat volume half an inch thick, which you can carry in your pocket.
The neatness and good taste with which these books are produced makes them welcome to general readers, and has led to their extensive use as gift books. They can be had in many varieties of beautiful leather bindings as well as in cloth. The complete works of Scott, of Thackeray, of Jane Austen, of the Brontë Sisters, and of Shakespeare, in boxes, make pretty presents, are handsome for drawing-room and library, very portable for travelling, and astonishingly compact where space for books is limited. Many other authors are represented. Full lists on application.
Prices, net—Neat cloth, gilt top, illustrated, 2/-; limp leather, 2/6; leather boards, 3/-.
Sold by all Booksellers.
