What a true first shows: The Shakespeare Head Press one-volume edition, using the Stratford Town Edition text prepared by A. H. Bullen (Shakespeare Head Press founded 1904), was issued in various printings; the true first of this American Oxford University Press issue would be datable on the copyright page, which is not legible here.

Photographs show the exact copy you will receive. Every flaw we found is listed above; if we missed one, the return is on us.
