Replica of Shakespeare's First Folio (In Progress)
I am currently working on a replica of Shakespeare's 1623 folio. Although Shakespeare's works have been in print prior to the release of the first folio as individual plays, the 1623 publication is the first edition of the "complete" works of Shakespeare. This replica is a rebinding of a 1947 facsimile, to be rebound in calf leather in a 1600's Cambridge panel design (this particular "Cambridge panel" is bound in the style of Paul Tronson, Master Bookbinder).
Although I have yet to finish the project, I have received offers as high as $6500; however, I have no plans to sell my replica.
