Featured Article: Man Arrested in Theft of Rare Shakspeare Folio.
A 400-year-old volume of Shakespeare, valued at £15 million ($30
million), has been recovered after a man asked the Folger Shakespeare
Library in Washington, DC to have it verified as genuine.
The
First Folio edition of 1623 is among the rarest
books ever printed and scholars
consider it to be one of the most important printed books in English.
It was stolen over a decade ago, along with six other centuries-old
books and manuscripts, from a display case at the Durham University
library in Northern England.
Durham Police have arrested a 51-year-old man in connection with the crime. To view the full article, click here.

In other book-related news, Beirut-born writer Rawi Hage

debut novel, De Niro's Game,

different paths to survive amid civil war in the Lebanese capital.
Five judges from Ireland, Britain, Spain and the United States selected
Hage for the $155,000 IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.

 5 Little Pigs (1890)
alegalangel's 1st edition antique children's book, 5 Little Pigs,
was published in 1890. With a cloth cover binding and linen pages, it
is certainly a throw-back to another era. Among collectors, it is a
highly sought-after collectible, and this copy is in great condition.
Books like these have long commanded a high value from those who wish
to collect them because of their beautifully drawn art, rarity, and
appeal to both children and children at heart. If you would like an
item or collection featured in an upcoming newsletter, please feel free
to send me a message.

 A People's History of the United StatesA People's History of the United States, by Howard Zinn, can be found in btodd12's book collection.
Spanning from Columbus' arrival to the Clinton Administration, Zinn
tells the history of the U.S. through the often unheard voices of the
oppressed. Eric Foner of the New York Times Book Review says, "Those
accustomed to the texts of an earlier generation, in which the rise of
American democracy and the growth of national power were the embodiment
of progress, may be startled by Professor Zinn's narrative." This
sounds like a must-read for anyone interested in the history and
cultures of the United States' past!
