THE NONESUCH DICKENS Raffle Winner Is Announced!

We have a winner! Lisa Williams, professor of literature at Ramapo College of New Jersey and author of Letters to Virginia Woolf (from Hamilton Books) has won THE NONESUCH DICKENS BOX SET from the drawing at the Indie & Small Press Book Fair last weekend.

Launched in 1937, the twenty-four volume Nonesuch Dickens was the most complete and handsome collection of the novelist's work ever created. Seven decades later, The Overlook Press is proud to publish these volumes produced to the specifications of the original Nonesuch design. Employing modern printing technology, each book in the revived Nonesuch Dickens replicates the enduring editorial and design excellence of its inspiration. The Nonesuch Dickens Six-Volume Box Set contains: Oliver Twist, Bleak House, Christmas Books, Nicholas Nickleby, David Copperfield, and Great Expectations together with Hard Times.
