This is the first compilation of dramatic works of William Shakespeare, printed in folio. The book, consisting of 36 pieces, was published in 1623, seven years after the death of the artist, two close friends of the writer, John and Henry Condell Heminges . A few identified 40 complete copies have been sold $ 5.6 million (4.3 million) at Sotheby's .

His exact title is "Comedies, Histories and Tragedies of William Shakespeare" (Mr . William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies).

Printed in folio, containing 36 pieces.
