The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Collectible Leather Edition)
A Barnes and Noble collectible leather edition of the complete plays, sonnets, and poems, with gilt page edges and a ribbon marker. The binding is brown leather, the pages are edged in gold, and the whole thing is designed to look at home on a shelf that already has too many books. It is not a scholarly edition for textual arguments, but a reading copy that treats the canon as a single monumental object. Shakespeare's works benefit from being gathered under one cover, if only because the comedies, histories, tragedies, and sonnets start to look like one long conversation. Ideal reader: the reader who wants one substantial volume for rereading and display, or the gift-giver who believes that completeness is a kind of compliment.
