The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare Fall River Press 2012 Edition Appraisal

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Fall River Press, 2012 Edition)

This is a 2012 compilation of William Shakespeare’s complete plays published by Fall River Press, an imprint of Sterling Publishing and a registered trademark of Barnes & Noble, Inc. The text follows the preparation by Arthur Henry Bullen, founder of the Shakespeare Head Press in 1904. This specific edition is notable for arranging the plays in the chronological order of their composition rather than the traditional First Folio divisions of Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies. The image shows the copyright and edition page, which includes the ISBN 978-1-4351-4183-4 and states the book was manufactured in the United States. Physically, the book appears to be a mass-market or specialty retailer hardcover or leatherette-bound edition, common for Barnes & Noble's collectible series. The paper is white to off-white, and the typography uses a clean, modern serif font. The visible condition shows minimal wear on the interior pages, with crisp edges and no immediate signs of foxing, staining, or tearing, though the lighting suggests it has been handled. The printing line '5 7 9 10 8 6' indicates it is a later printing within this edition's run rather than a first printing.
