For the process, technologies from different eras of publishing were combined, using hand press type and the original printing plates and wood blocks for many of the illustrations herein. [The Nonesuch Dickens]( [The Nonesuch Dickens at BIBLIO]( The edition was limited to 877 sets due to the inclusion in the 24th volume of each set of one of the original engraved steel plates used by Chapman and Hall, Dickens's original publishers, in their first printings of each title. Furthermore, 66 sets of those 877 originals were destroyed when a bomb hit the bindery in September 1940. The Nonesuch Dickens includes classic titles such as Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickelby, A Tale of Two Cities, and Bleak House, as well as three volumes of Dickens's letters and two volumes of his collected papers. [The Nonesuch Dickens]( Besides the original engraved steel plates, the complete set has always been highly sought after by collectors, as it is considered by many the most complete and perfect edition of Dickens' works.
