Considered by many to be the most important book in the English language, the First Folio is the most authoritative source for 36 of Shakespeare's plays. Published by John Heminges and Henry Condell in 1623, it was an incredible feat in printmaking at thw time with over 900 pages. It originally sold for £1 in 1623 (a print copy of the First Folio recently sold for over $6 million) and only 231 known copies currently exist in the world today. This digital edition is an authentic recreation in the original spelling and takes the best of the available copies to compile the highest quality edition possible.
