| 1. Shakespeare's Words: A Glossary and Language Companion | 
|
By: David Crystal, Ben Crystal
Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics)
December 31, 2002
One of the difficulties in appreciating Shakespeare's plays is that we think we know what the words mean. Most of them are still in use, and aside from an occasional stumble we can read the test pretty easily. In many cases, however, the meaning of the words has changed. You won't know what you are missing unless you get this book. Highly recommended. Note: I have not used the other similar glossaries... more

Ordered directly from Amazon, brand spankin' new. When box arrived, only 36 of the 38 plays were present. The rest had all been slightly damaged, as if somewhere along the chain of delivery, someone had taken them all out and ripped them. And then forgot to return two.
This was ordering new, direct from Amazon. See the "Amazon verified purchase" tag?... more

By: Fyodor Dostoevsky
Publisher: Everyman's Library
April 28, 1992
Greetings to all
I am not going to review this book other than to say it is one of the best I have ever had the pleasure to read. My point is in the translations. There were a couple of translations recommended. I cannot comment on those because I have not read them. I can contribute the translations of Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. I have read reviews from Russian speaking ladies... more

| 7. THE YALE SHAKESPEARE COMPLETE WORKS - Leather Bound (The Yale Shakespeare Complete Works) |
|
From: Barnes & Nobles
Publisher: Barnes & Nobles
2005
First of all, this book is probabably the PRETTIEST complete works of Shakespeare I've ever seen. In addition, though, it has fairly large print and thick pages that don't tear easily. I love it! The only down-side is how much it weighs. It is very heavy and that makes carrying it around difficult. ... more

| 8. Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 1-6 |
|
By: English Baroque Soloists, Gardiner
October 13, 2009
..or even rock 'n' roll", says John Eliot Gardiner; "when playing these concertos musicians need to think, breathe and move like dancers". And right he is! If you're inclined to doubt this, just listen to how Gardiner's ensemble plays the 3rd movements of Concertos no. 1 and 3, how the music whirls, spins and dances with sturdy counter-rhythms in the bass line. If that's not dazzling swing, I don't... more

This is a great edition of this book at an amazingly low price- one that you will be proud to display. This is a large book with detailed illustrations.
