Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this book., Feb 23 2013

One of my favourite plays of Shakespeare's. Richard is such a heady blend of pitiful evil, loneliness and smart aleck meanness, that it makes the play a delight to read.

Edition advertised, Feb 23 2013

The book came quickly- early, in fact and was in great shape, as described. I especially like the fact that the particular edition I wanted was the one I got- sometimes the book is different from the cover shown- this is the one my prof wanted. I need it for a summer class, so I have not read it yet, but I am very happy with the booksellers and will definitely purchase from them again. Thank you.
