This boxed set contains 12 separate paperback books (Dover Thrift Editions). They're fairly compact and as such, will fit into my summer travel plans. The box itself is really nice (very solid); it looks pretty good on my shelf and I could see giving this set as a gift. At $15 for 12 books the price is pretty hard to beat.

As an actor, I thought it would be helpful to have these plays on hand in separate books instead of one large compilation. The books are thin & very easy to take with me. I would recommend these for anyone, especially those who are love with Mr. Billy Shakes!

Be it Hamlet, Macbeth, or Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare is still as important in today's world than ever. Shakespeare's works show the complexity of humans. His characters are three-dimensional and diverse. His works appeal to a large audience because even if they were written in the Renaissance, their human emotions and truths still exist. So, it's nice to have everything in a nice little box with 12 plays to read whenever things are getting a little dull. The books are all thin and very easy to understand.

This box set was awesome! The pictures don't lie...It comes with 12 of Shakespeares best and I ordered it as new and it actually came in as BRAND new, plastic on and everything! A must buy!

I am very satisfied with my order, Twelve Plays by Shakespeare. The fact that it came in a box helps me with organization. I highly recommend this item to anyone who is interested in Shakespeare.

I'm very happy. This box set is great! The pictures don't lie... It comes with 12 of Shakespeares best plays. 10 stars.... =)

Thought it would be the real writings and not the play versions. That's okay because it is easy reading for a child & that is what I really needed.
