The Tate published a very similar edition of the Songs, also I can vouch for the Complete Illustrated Blake, its easy and wonderful to read the text off the plates themselves - and quite hard to then go back to reading Blake on a plain printed page.

I think, deep down, we all already know who consistently produces the most beautifully crafted and decadent editions of all the classics.

Great choice, William Blake is awesome and those editions looks cool. I think I saw a similar one with his drawings and handwriting, that's awesome
