The classic Arden editions of Shakespeare's best-loved plays have been specially selected for the collector and theater-goer in a handsomely produced Playgoer's edition. With the full Arden text, as edited by an established scholar for the second series of Arden Shakespeare editions plus an authoritative introduction and a wealth of helpful and incisive explanatory notes on the same page as the text, Arden Playgoer's bring Shakespeare's dramas to life. They are sewn in simulated leather with decorative gold blocking on the spine and the cover, with a ribbon page marker (includes jacket).
