Like the First Folio it was printed for a syndicate of publishers, which again included John Smethwick and William Aspley. Although many obvious corrections were made, the printing introduced hundreds of minor changes to the text, including many errors.  Acquired from Sotheby's 12\/17\/08  Lot 29.\u003c\/div\u003e  About Fine","brand":"1632","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41033784328365,"sku":"9374","price":43444.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/7646\/products\/9374.jpg?v=1636224819"},{"product_id":"1441800-1632-shakespeare","title":"1441800 1632 Shakespeare.

(12¾x8½\"), early 20th century full brown morocco, red leather spine label from an earlier binding laid down.  The second folio edition of William Shakespeare’s Works, one of the landmarks of English literature. Essentially a page-for-page reprint of the first folio edition of 1623. Gregg notes that, “Though many errors were introduced in the course of reprinting, the text of the present edition shows signs of careful, if unauthorized, revision.” The primary publisher was Robert Allot, with three additional partners, and thus variations in the imprint, however the present copy lacks the title-page and other prelims, so the question of issue is moot. Bookplate of Ronald Perkins Bridges on front pastedown endpaper.
