Customer Reviews

Amazing content

Contained everything we were looking for in one place. Perfect content. Unfortunately, will need to repurchase at a later date due to condition (way too much writing and so many highlights).

Good book, bad condition!

Good book but terrible condition, should really reassess what is considered "like new" or "good condition". Getting sick of it as a customer. Then they stick stickers all over it so gets further damaged when trying to remove them. Book lovers wouldn't stick stickers all over books.

Excellent condition and read!

I love this book, especially since I won a best actor award in college for Othello as Othello. Every work is timeless and filled with universal themes. I donated my copy to a kid in college, and now I'm ordering another copy for myself as an award-winning screenwriter. Shakespeare understood human nature and created some of the best characters ever. I believe everyone should read Shakespeare because he really helps you understand why people do what they do, much like people in the Bible, and his stories are very entertaining.

Very Happy

A very affordable collection of Shakespeare’s works! My copy arrived a few days early, and was closer to “Very Good” condition (I ordered Good because they were out of Very Good), which was a pleasant surprise. Overall I’m very happy with my new book, and I can’t wait to read it.

Extremely pleased

The book arrived quickly...this book looks new...it appears that it has never been read...it's a beautiful book, to say the least...I'm anxious to read it

Very Good

It was a very good read and I liked the binding too.
