This is an original copy of "The Complete Works of Shakespeare" by Walter J. Black from 1937. It is not in perfect condition, in fact the binding is detached from most of the book, but it is a complete copy and about 80 years old from one of the best ever. It has a great vintage look to it and is a nice collectible item that will only increase in value through time. This would make a great gift or nice addition to any body's collection.
