I‘m ready, with possibly the oldest edition of any Shakespeare in my library. It‘s The Yale Shakespeare edition, copyright 1924, but printed in 1954. Can anyone beat that? #shakespeareteadalong @GingerAntics
GingerAntics That is a beautiful edition though. 2y
Lcsmcat @GingerAntics A bit faded. Someone must have had it on the end of a shelf close to a window. 😀 2y
GingerAntics @Lcsmcat I saw that. I prefer if they have to be faded that they‘re faded all over, like the book was always out being read and loved. 2y

Graywacke It‘s a little older than my 2002 Signet. 🙂 2y
Lcsmcat @Graywacke It‘ll be interesting to see how different the footnotes are. I often get annoyed with editions for footnoting things that seem obvious to me. But then I grew up with Cranmer‘s prayer book and the King James Bible so I‘m not their target audience. 2y
Graywacke @Lcsmcat we can compare. I would surprised if Signet was less guilty of footnoting the obvious. 2y
