“I'm probably too young to appreciate this yet, but I seriously didn't understand one sentence of this! Barely even one word!”
“The most complete book of life, literature, and stage ever written. To know it is to know most all that life has to offer, historically, tragically, humorously. It is the only book needed for exile on a desert island.”
“I put this on my shelf (I was lazy) so I wouldn't have to clutter my shelf with all the individual plays I had to study in school. I read a lot of shakespeare for school, but not all of them. We analysed his plays to death!”
“the only thing that would make shakespeare more complete was if he had never starting writing this Fu Manchu not speaking in stupid words but with clarity”
“One of the books I shall take with me if I am exiled on a desert island.”
“I have a copy of the Complete Works of Shakespeare with temple notes.. that my husband gave me when we first met. I can't find another like it anywhere. It is a leather bound edition with fine embossed details and his picture is embossed dead center of the cover. It is golden in color with gilding around his likeness atop a red background and there are no dates showing when it was published inside of it other than it was published in the United States at the World Syndicate Publishing Company in Cleveland, OH and New York, N.Y. Does this mean it is rare?”
“I had a nice edition of The Riverside Shakespeare, but my daughter saw it and ran off with it to college. Sigh. I suppose I could make her return it, but I thought to let her maybe keep it and replace my copy. Which is better, The Complete Works of Shakespeare by David Bevington or The Riverside Shakespeare? Both are expensive so one is enough, but which one? Is anybody familiar with both? I really did enjoy the colored photos in the Riverside version - does Bevington's version have colored photos also? Which is more true to Shakespeare's writing? Which is more useable?”
“Shakespeare .. he was the best poet , novelist . THE BEST in his days but he's writing lasted throught the centuries .. and worth alot even today . I read many of his writings .. poems , sonnets , some tragedies .. but didn't read this book that contains all his work .. I guess i'll get . ”
“this book is one of his work that i rated highest ”
“My cover is red. And thus I refer to this book as "Red." Even the kids know who "red" is.This is my most prize posession. (second only to my wedding ring)”
