Um, why pay $2.99 for something that is available all over the place for free? In fact, the day I got my iPhone I downloaded a free app containing all the Bard's plays.

If the plays are well annotated, that's certainly worth paying for. That's why I continue to use my "Arden Shakespeare" paperbacks, even though I have all the plays on my Kindle, too.

I love that it has over 12 illustrations and over 14 critical essays. Don't they know how many they included? :P

Got it now. It seems pretty good: nicely formatted, and easy to navigate. Well worth £1.71, I think.

There's actually 13 illustrations, by the way, so "over 12" is accurate .

I got this, even though I have a Complete Works and various books of the plays/poems. It's always useful to have a searchable Shakespeare, and I think I'll enjoy the essays and notes.

I got this, too, and I agree.

I've been reading the essays and finding them very interesting.

If I'm interpreting the posted contents correctly, the "included essays" are actually this book:
