Reader's note

Are you looking to decorate your bookshelf with beautiful books? How about this lovely bold red edition of The Works of William Shakespeare. This edition has been 'prepared from the texts of the first folio and the quartos, compared with recent commentators.' As well as being able to enjoy all of Shakespeare's wonderful plays and sonnets, the beginning of the book has a memoir which reads: 'No writer ever so perfectly represented the entire genius of his country;hence probably he is so especially the idol of the people; so completely identified with their modes of thought and feeling.' This is an enchanting vintage edition to treasure!
