Due out in April are..    And Coriolanus, the image of which is not playing ball  Pre-orderable now from Amazon. I'm assuming these are not the final images though, as they usually have a quote from the play top right, not just "all the world's a stage". |

As a bookseller, I OBSESSIVELY follow the release of this series. The images themselves are pretty final, it's just the quotes that need work. :3

^ Agreed. I really like the CoE one, very simple and effective.

Oooh - I like all these designs. Generally much prefer the look of these to the Arden ones, which I tend to find a bit old fashioned or twee or just weird with a few exceptions. And must admit, even though I have a complete works, I'm starting to sway to the thought that having a complete set of these on the shelf would look amazing.

I'm gradually collecting the entire set of these paperbacks even though I have a Complete Works. I'm not generally opposed to, say, taking my Complete Works on holiday with me, but it's nice to have a selection of paperbacks when I just want a book to read on the bus. :3 These are affordable and pretty and lightweight and I *love* the discussions and interviews at the back (even though it can be a little jarring (in a good way, obv!) when you're reading a particular section and realise hey, you've actually seen the productions currently being discussed XD). My only issue is the line layout; when two characters share a line of verse, I wish the second half were tabbed inwards to reflect this, like the Ardens and even the cheap-ass Wordsworths do. Other than that, I LOFF these and one day WILL have them all. :3

I love the cheap-ass Wordsworths, they are brilliant for a beginner cum geek like me, and easy to carry around ;D Although something is to be said for the articles in the back of the RSC ones, so I might end up with owning 2 different editions for all of the plays eventually  |

Hee, I buy the Wordsworths to keep in the bathroom, as interims when I want a paperback of a play but the RSC edition isn't out, and for scribbling all over for performance purposes. Frickin' LOVE 'em. What with these, Wordsworth, and the stray Penguins that have snuck onto my shelf somehow, I just know I'm going to end up with FAR too many editions of the various plays.  |
