However with shakespeare the art is within the words not how they have been written down. E.g. Shakespeare could be appreciated if it was read from notebook written with a bic biro. - Steelfox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's it?

- dpk87, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2$5.2 sounds cheap for something like this.
I've heard of original paintings going for over $100 million. - rowlodge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0first time i read shakespear i cried at the end...
