"This is a copy of the famous Shakespeare play--Richard III--published by Signet Publishing Company. This particular publisher has been my favorite publisher Shakespeare plays since my undergraduate days. Signet's entire collection of Shakespeare's plays contains much more than the simple transcript of the play itself. Each volume contains an extensive number of essays and articles on the particular play which is contained in the volume. I have gone back to these volumes time and time again in order to read these articles."

"My eight year old son and I took turns reading the pages of Romeo and Juliet. He and I both were excited and interested in the story not that we were reading and learning great Shakespeare. ( a very nice way to sneak in great works of art) This series of Shakespeare for children books is an excellent way to introduce your younger children ( especially boys) to a little more sophistocated literature without any fuss."

By James Bonavito 

"Best version. Why? Because it's the closest to Shakespeare. Two Gents was never published in quarto form prior to the First Folio from whence this text comes, except this is cleaned up and in a modern font; none of those 's's that look like 'f's, not cramped into the minimum space possible because paper was hand made and expensive. Later editors would place a high value on consistency, aiming for a product that would be easily digestible by a solitary reader, with correct punctuation, flattening verse into prose where verse pops up unexpectedly. The text of the First Folio, on the other hand, still echos the spoken word, the words of a playwright writing for actors and the stage."

"Another wonderful classic beautifully bound in a lovely treasured keepsake by Collector's Library. Having almost 20 of their books, I am always so pleased add another to my "Collector's Collection." Gilded edges, lovely illustrations at a very reasonable price. Who could ask for anything more?"
