520    "In late November 1623, Edward Blount finally took 
       delivery at his bookshop at the sign of the Black Bear 
       near St. Paul's of a book that had been long in the 
       making. Master William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories, 
       and Tragedies was the first collected edition of 
       Shakespeare's plays, appearing some seven years after 
       their author's death in 1616. Its 950 folio pages included
       thirty-six plays, half of which had not previously been 
       printed, divided under the three generic headings of the 
       title. There was no fanfare at the book's arrival. There 
       was nothing of the marketing overdrive that marks an 
       important new publication in our own period: no 
       advertising campaign, no reviews, interviews, endorsements
       or literary prizes, no queues in St Paul's Churchyard, no 
       sales figures, price war, copycat publications or 
       bestseller lists--in short, no sensation. Nevertheless, it
       is hard to overstate the importance of this literary, 
       cultural and commercial moment. This book, generously 
       illustrated with key pages from the publication and 
       comparative works, tells the human, artistic, economic and
       technical stories of the birth of the First Folio--and the
       birth of Shakespeare's towering reputation." --|cProvided
