The Book of William: How Shakespeare's First Folio Conquered the World by Paul Collins

I've just finished my fourth book, The Book of William: How Shakespeare's First Folio Conquered the World by Paul Collins. I think this book is a must read for those of us who love old books and Shakespeare but are not scholars. The author describes what printing was like in early 17th century, and how books were bought, sold, and cataloged. From a book sale at Sothebys to a Japanese university, he tracks the ownership of first folios and gives a sense of that rarified world where people have fortunes to spend on books. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
