London, The Nonesuch Press, 1924. First edition. Cloth. The first edition of this entertaining and truly miscellaneous anthology filled with poems, songs, games, culinary advice, and more, published by the private Nonesuch Press. The first edition of the work, with no further editions nor impressions stated. Published by the Nonesuch Press. The Nonesuch Press was a private press founded in 1922 in London by Francis Meynell, his second wife, Vera Mendel, and their mutual friend, David Garnett. Nonesuch was rather unique among private presses in its choice to use a small hand press to design books, and print them through a commercial printers, a choice which they made with the aim to make fine-press quality book designs cheaper, and thus accessible to a wider audience. With the contemporary previous owner's inscription to the recto of the initial half title page at the front of the work.  This is a wonderful copy of the Nonesuch Press' best selling title, The Week-End Book. An immensely popular work, this anthology was designed to give a middle-brow reader tit-bits of knowledge and conversation pieces pertaining to a wide range of topics, and thus collects into one volume poetry, songs, games, culinary tips, and first aid advice. In the original publisher's full cloth binding. Externally, generally smart with one or two light handling marks and some rubbing and bumping, heaviest to the head and tail of the spine and the extremities. Internally, firmly bound with generally bright and clean pages, barring light age toning and the odd spot. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
