Biases against e-readers or audio books.

Our study abroad group went to Stratford-upon-Avon yesterday, where I was able to pay my respects to the Bard. This is an original copy of The First Folio, which was the first published compilation of Shakespeare's work (posthumously). #shakespeare #travel

#TBT to last week when I spent some quality time gazing at one of the First Folios when it stopped at a local university on its US tour!

everfree7 Isn't it amazing?! I saw it at Emory when I was at NCTE! 8y

Karen_V I saw it last weekend. Lovely, isn't it? 😍 8y

Moray_Reads We have a First Folio where I work! One of the many important books I'm privileged enough to work with 😊 8y

BooksForYears @DeborahSmall I wish...it was under a bulletproof case and protected by a security guard who wouldn't have liked it too much. Oh well 😊 8y

BooksForYears @Moray_Reads You are so lucky! I'd make a pilgrimage every day. 8y

[DELETED] 4184155464 I was lucky enough to see this traveling display when it came through my state. Wasn't it glorious? 🙌🏻 8y

pocketmermaid The university library where I work hosted the First Folio in October and I didn't even get a chance to see it! But this is a lovely picture, so it's sorta the same. 😉📘 8y

BooksForYears @pocketmermaid Thank you! Hopefully you have the chance to see a First Folio in person, sometime soon! 8y

So yesterday I went on a trip to see one the First Folios at a nearby university. I have a deep love of the works of the Bard and my involvement in theatre is largely because of this. Dear Will will always have my undying love for what his works have brought me in numerous ways.
Also they had it open to Hamlet's speech, not my favorite but probably the most recognizable to the masses.

Just finished up a new episode all about the various portraits and pictures supposedly of William Shakespeare! What did the Bard of Stratford-on-Avon actually look like (probably not like the guy in this picture)?
Check it out! https://youtu.be/UJImY5x1I3w
