One book above all others has transfixed
connoisseurs for four centuries
—
a book
sold for shillings in the streets of Lon¬
don, whisked to Manhattan for millions, and
stored deep within the vaults of Tokyo. The
book: William Shakespeare s First Folio of
1623.
Paul Collins, lover of odd books and
author of the national bestseller Sixpence
House, takes up the strange quest for this
white whale of rare books, a cornerstone of
our cultural heritage.
A tri-continental travelogue in five acts, The
Book of William traces the history of one of the
world
s
most hotly pursued literary treasures,
encompassing the Fleet Street machinations
of the eighteenth century, the nineteenth-
century quest for lost Folios, the obsessive
acquisitions by twentieth-century oilmen,
and the high-tech hoards of twenty-first-
century Japan. Collins weaves a captivating
narrative as Folios are dearly bought, pre¬
ciously guarded, and more dearly sold; dusted
offin attics; lost in oceans and fires; facsimiled;
scanned; and
—
ultimately
—
immortalized.
PAUL COLLINS is an assistant professor of English
at Portland State University and the author
of Sixpence House, The Trouble with Tom,
Not Even Wrong, and Banvard s Folly. His
work has appeared in Smithsonian, the New
York Times, and Slate. He edits the Collins
Library imprint of McSweeney
s
Books and
appears regularly on NPR s Weekend Edition
as the shows resident literary detective.
