    Shakespeare, William:  Much Ado About Nothing and Love's Labour's Lost.  London: [Printed by Tho. Cotes for Richard Hawkins], 1632. Removed from the Second Folio Edition. Two comedic plays by William Shakespeare removed from the Second Folio of 1632 bound together in a near fine small quarto of 1/4 polished, brown leather and marbled paper covered boards with gilt text on the spine. The only flaw being a small, 3/8 by 3/4 inch piece of the marbled paper near the upper center of the rear board is missing. The flaw is easily overlooked and can only be found rubbing one's fingers over the rear board. Much Ado About Nothing is contained within pages 101 to 121 and is said to have been written in 1599 and was first printed on August 23, 1600. Love's Labour's Lost is on pages 122 to 144 and is said to have been written in 1592 and first printed in 1598. Both plays are printed in double columns with borders surrounding each column. (Jaggard, p.378 & p.418; Bohn, p.274, p.277, p.2256)
