does any1 know where i could get a 'shakespeare collection' boxset from?

Question

Extra info:
Im talkin bout books not dvds or videos of the play.
Not a whole book with all the plays in, but seperate books in a box

For your information 'Mclaurn', I used the expression 'any1' because many ppl nowadays use short-form when on the internet or txting. It doesnt mean I can not spell. I have read many Shakespeare plays and do throughly understand them which is why I want the boxset.
Why dont you think before you open your mouth and spit out (or should i say 'type out' in perfect english for you) stupid words on the internet?

Answer 1

I have been in the book business over ten years & I have never seen a Shakespeare box set. Most collections of Shakespeare are in one volume. For example, one volume on the comedies, one on the tragedies, etc...You best bet would probably be to find similar volumes from one publisher in able to make a "set".

(It would save the inquirer a lot of time if people would not send links to a certain site prior to researching whether or not the item is actually carried. Anyone can reply with "Ask Google", "Check Ebay", "amazonbook.com", but if the book is not carried it has not helped at all. If it is carried, one should send the link to that particular item, not just that site.)

Answer 2

I have a really good book with Shakespeare's oeuvre, but it's a single book (with Bible thin pages!) and it would be nice to have individual ones.

I'm sure you've looked on Amazon already, but below are some collections they have of seperate books.

Also, try the Dover Thrift Editions of Shakespeare. A lot of them are just a dollar or two per copy (they're cheap) but you could get the entire collection (or most of it). The website is below but you'll have to search some through it (because it's got weird things in the results like Shakespearean paper dolls too -- I don't know).

Finally, you could also create your own library by printing the plays off the internet (it's also a good place to get a full listing of his plays). There are two websites listed to do that.

Good luck and happy reading!

Answer 3

I suggest checking your local used book stores (or used book websites). I was able to get a lovely complete set of the Yale editions at a used book store, and I've also seen box sets of miniature editions at used book stores.

Another option would be to buy a copy of each play in one of the generally available paperback editions, or Amazon has a nice complete set. It may be easier to find a three to ten volume collection than a set with separate volumes for each play.

Good luck!

Answer 4

I wouldn't bother with box sets as they have a tendency to just sit on the shelf looking pretty. Buy them individually so that you're more likely to read them carefully. I like the Arden editions, personally, because of the quality of the references; although they can be pricey. Penguin books do useful, cheaper editions.

Answer 5

Try amazon.com and bn.com

I have used both services and they are good. If you can't find it by browsing online, go to a local bookstore and ask around, they can help you out, even order it foryou.
