"No one ever actually reads The Complete Works, but almost everyone has bought it for 25p in Oxfam. Sadly, about 4 plays will get read in this anthology, whilst Cymbaline and others will never be."
"As above - no one ever reads it, they just keep it around in case they pass a horse which needs to be clubbed to death with this enormous anthology. Exceptions are the students who must read it."
"Not necessarily this book, but you know the sort I mean; the kind of thing you'd have to look really hard to find on the bottom shelf of the library's World Literature section."
