- Good ol' WilliamIt's taken me years to read plenty of Shakespeare, and there will probably always be something to read. He is the master of the drama and comedy.

- Extra-condensed and unnaproachableBrian Kendig's previous review says it all, but I wanted to add a caveat to a still-potential buyer: the text is so incredibly condensed that the endings of some of the longer lines are scrunched up in awkward brackets in the white space above, making for a disjointed reading of an already unapproachable edition. (Please read the previous review--it's quite helpful.)

- There are some problems about the bookWell, the book contents are strictly what the cover tells, there are no kind of studies or comments about Shakespeare's works, you will find only the pure texts of each story.
Other negative point of the book is its huge size, what makes the reading feasible probably only inside your house; and the tiny letters, what really handicaps the reading.
If you are not going to read every Shakespeare's work don't buy this book, prefer another one.
