Received this to give as a gift and the book is perfect. It is very compact and has the gold paint effect around the pages. Also has a book mark and is fun to flip through.

This is great for educational/teaching use and for translating the meanings for those that have difficultly understanding Shakespeare. It also has great info on Shakespeare himself.

You can't go wrong with Shakespeare's complete works, including his best biographies, for $1.99.  I would have given it 5 stars for content alone, but in order to get at that content, you need a good table of contents.  There actually is one, but you won't find it under the GO TO button.  I finally found it.  You go to the cover, and then turn the page.  There it is!  You're welcome.  Would recommend this book to anyone who loves Shakespeare.

Great way to learn the plot of this little known, first play by Shakespeare.  I bought it to inform myself before seeing the play in Ashland, Oregon at the Shakepeare Festival.  Very helpful.

Fantastic buy if you're a Shakespeare fan (as I am).  I originally bought this so I could have MacBeth on my phone (my favorite of Shakespeare's works) but fell in love with a few of his other works, as well.  Great buy if you commute and need good reads.

Great gift!  High quality glass and not super thin like most wine glasses.  Good packaging as well

I very much enjoyed the notes on each page with the Shakespeare text on the opposite page.  Very helpful in understanding the old English.
My particular copy was missing about 30 pages with duplicates of other pages.

I purchased this book for my ENG 231 literature class.  To be honest, I don't like Shakespeare in the least, but I won't go into detail about it.  The book is well made and attractive.

Funny, interesting and persuasive. This has so much useful information I will read it again. I recommend it to any student of Shakespeare.

Such a good sample for a good taste of fun operatic literature. Great gift for someone starting out or for ardent lovers.

I am a high school English teacher who recently got a student added to my class from Cuba who speaks only Spanish. Imagine trying to read and study Shakespeare's "Hamlet" and "Macbeth" in English when your only language is Spanish! Consequently, I found this terrific book for her that beautifully translates Shakespeare into Spanish. I showed the class the Kenneth Branagh version of "Hamlet" that follows the complete text of the play, and my student was able to follow along with her Spanish-language edition. Thus, for just a few dollars I was able to bring Shakespeare to a student who otherwise would have had no idea what was going on. She is in ESL level 1, and I hope some day she will return to Shakespeare and try reading his works in English. The book is beautifully bound and includes a couple of other plays by the Bard, too.

We love this book. It has been a great intro to Shakespeare for our son and a good reminder about a plays details if we forget (a kind of illustrated cliffs notes).  We also are comic book fans so this was an easy way to get excited about Shakespeare and now the kids are fans too.  We own the book Tales From Shakespeare and it has the same plays as this one so be careful not to order a duplicate if you have the other.

This is an awesome gift for coffee drinkers. It has clever quotes from Shakespeare. The insults are unorthodox and fun to read.

The illustrations are just lovely in this book. I think this is a great introduction to Shakespeare and his plays. It talks briefly of some of his plays-just enough to know what goes on-and also about the time Shakespeare grew up in and wrote his plays in. The kings, queens, customs, etc...It's perfect for a child or an adult who doesn't know much about him.

Bought this as a gift for my son. Reasonably priced, nice historic collection of this period in the poet's life. Very well received. He and his girlfriend enjoyed reading it together.

This volume was EXTREMELY helpful for making costumes for Shakespeare plays. A must-have for any serious costumer's library!

My wife recently wrote The Detectives Who Loved Shakespeare, available here on Amazon.  When she appears at book signings, she brings this bust of William Shakespeare along with her.  It's a hit at every book signing.  Hooray for the Bard !
