Wow! What an engaging book about a book! Collins follows the literary journey of the efforts, rivalries and gigantic personalities involved in collecting and publishing Shakespeare’s plays and the subsequent revisions and editions. Then, we follow the paths of these first folios take as they become the most collected books in the world to the current efforts to make books like it available digitally. Fascinating on so many levels—a must read for Shakespeare fans, book lovers and for those interested in the book trade. It’s truly a page turner.
