In commemoration, observance, or something, of the 400th anniversary of The Bard's death (ack!!!!) coming up real soon, I've been running across quite a few Shakespeare-related items. This is one of them.

It is a play, yes, but it's also a book. A quite substantial book, for that matter, with 219 pages. It's free, in the pdf format, from an outfit called Players-Shakespeare.com.

I know almost nothing about these things, but it seems that this version of Hamlet is modernized and from the "First Folio."

You do have to go through a checkout/shopping cart experience to get this ebook, but it's quick. There is an area to put your credit card information, but you do not have to fill that area in to get this free ebook.

Hope this is a good find.
