Fascinating bit of history. I think I really enjoyed the section about the technical aspects the most. The actual typesetters and putting the pages together. Highly recommended for Shakespeare boffins.

A highly enjoyable read about publishers, printers and players who worked to publish, and thus preserve for us all, one of the most important books in literary history.
Chris teaches at the Shakespeare Institute where I was luck enough to study a few years ago, and thus had access to an amazing array of scholars and scholarship. The book, however, is extremely accessible to a general reader and really helps bring the personalities to life. A timely publication in the year of the First Folio's 400th birthday.
