Customer Reviews

Condition of the book is NOT "acceptable."

The shipper qualified the book's condition as "acceptable." Acceptable to whom? The spine is completely broken, the pages are discolored, the dust cover is mangled, and this will be nigh on impossible to read. SHAKESPEARE'S works are unsurpassed, but this shipper should have sold the book for $1.

The best Shakespeare Works You Can Find

The Complete Illustrated Shakespeare, edition of 1979, edited by Howard Staunton, and containing over 800 magnificently beautiful steel engraving illustrations by Sir John Gilbert and Ray Abel, is treasure which belongs in the library of any true lover of the bard. The physical size alone, 8 3/4" x 11 1/4" x 3", is impressive, with every play preceded by a short historical introduction, and followed by several pages of illustrative comments and diverse critical opinions. This book is worth a high price and a long wait.
