This is the story of 'the greatest book' written in the English language. The First Folio (1623) was the first collection of Shakespare's drama, and the only source for half the plays. The present volume traces the Folio's sales and prices from one pound in the seventeenth century to over half a million pounds today. Counting the extant copies and showing their worldwide distribution, it also indicates their history of ownership - ranging from country parson to President of Standard Oil.
