mirrorshardI've been collecting copies of a particular Shakespeare set, one of the early mass-market paperback editions -
EACH NUMBER SOLD SEPARATELY
AT THE RATE OF M0,30
THE PLAYS
OF
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
IN
37 PARTS.
No. 21.
KING HENRY VIII.
LEIPZIG
BERNHARD TAUCHNITZ
1868.
The problem is, this one had uncut pages. The poor thing's been around so long, and nobody's wanted to read it... that really appals me. It may not be the most popular of plays, but still, it deserves a careful cherishing. And got it, taking full advantage of the lovely acoustics in my kitchen. Though the fact that its first experience had to involve a sharp knife is possibly not ideal.
