Macbeth (Signature Shakespeare) Hardcover – May 1, 2012

I came across Macbeth and Romeo & Juliet by surprise at a Samuel French store here in Los Angeles. I've already read all of Shakespeare's works so I had no intention of purchasing any more; however, when I saw the beautiful laser cut designs on the front of these books I just had to take a look. The design is just incredible. I've never seen any book that looked like this. Just beautiful to hold, and the inside just leaves you breathless. So, I went home and immediately purchased them through Amazon. A few days later, they are now in my personal library and something I will treasure forever. I think readers will be appreciative that the plays are clearly defined. Each play includes a full history of the work. You can tell a lot of hard work went into making these books, and it really pays off. I understand that the publishers are deciding whether to issue all the plays based on the sales of these books. I really hope people take a look and spread the word to get them. Not only will you not be disappointed, but hopefully they will complete the entire series. I am so happy to have these in my collection, and can't wait to show them off to my friends and family. I'd give this ten stars if it was available!

Loved the size and the marginal notes! They were very helpful in my understanding. Also the list of characters at the beginning is a great reference page.

I first bought a "Barnes & Noble" Shakespeare for my son, in their shop, because the edition recommended by his school had sold out &, to me, as a lover of Shakespeare, their version looked good. My son found that version, with commentary, so much better than the school's recommended version he has asked me to buy the Barnes & Noble's version of every Shakespeare play he has taken since. Again, though it is not the school's recommended copy, this was the copy he wanted & he is very happy with the result.

The book was what the dealer said it was, very nice, like new. Help in a class I took.

I think this guy has a future in the arts. He writes so well he makes me feel inferior. Scary play. Don't read it if blood and witches scare you.

Everything went ok

This book is incredibly beautiful and I love the notes included alongside the text!

Great Price Great Product Great Service !!! What more could i say thank you very much.
