After stops that took in the Bodleian Library complex and the Radcliffe Science Library, the last stop on the nostalgia tour was the British Library.
(I wrote large chunks of my PhD thesis camped out there, back in the day.)
It feels more important than ever to show appreciation for these wondrous and beautiful institutions.

Unlike the Norton one it uses just a single copy of the original book as its source. Which may mean it is less clear to read in places. But book historian me is a lot happier with this facsimile for authenticity and provenance reasons. Note it's a bit of a whopper! 4kg and 35cm x 23 cm x 8 cm. #RareBooks #Plays #Theatre #17thCentury #SeventeenthCentury #Books #Bookstodon #Shakespeare #FirstFolio #Facsimile #BookHistory

Both poring over the 400th anniversary #BritishLibrary #facsimile #Shakespeare #FirstFolio we bought. It is a very accurate reproduction of an excellent BL copy of the original. And yes we had to look up the bear stage direction. Very nice item to have, large, with sturdy hardback #binding in slipcase. #RareBooks #Plays #Theatre #17thCentury #SeventeenthCentury #Books #Bookstodon

Just bought a British Library 400th anniversary facsimile copy of Shakespeare's First Folio. Absolutely isn't a need. But as a book historian, and given it's a limited edition, I'm afraid I can't pass on this. Shop around if you want to buy it because it's available much cheaper than from BL direct. #Shakespeare #FirstFolio #Bookstodon #BookHistory #Facsimile #Plays #Theatre #17thCentury #SeventeenthCentury #Books #RareBooks
