I first read Thomas Nashe eleventyteen years ago. I was happy to get to The Terrors of the Night, or A Discourse of Apparitions (1594), no. 30 in the Penguin Little Black Classics boxed set. But that typo! And the spine matches.
Photos online show copies of the book with the name spelled correctly. I’ve written to Penguin Random House requesting two copies to replace the ones we have, which of course should never have been for sale. I will report back when I hear back, or if I don’t.

Nasha

Weirdly, a book entitled A Social History of the Fool includes The Works of Thomas Nasha in its bibliography, but the edition referenced (edited by R. B. McKerrow, 1958) in fact spells it "Nashe."
I see it (at archive.org). So strange!
Incidentally, all five volumes of McKerrow’s edition of Nashe (1904) are available there.
