Title: fabulous to have the text; horrible not to have the music examples
Product review: The book deserves 5 stars; this edition barely earns 1. I took a 1960s reprint of the book out of the library so many times (working as a music director for a touring summer Shakespeare company) that I decided it was high time to buy my own copy. It's true that the product description says "may not include graphics or images from the original edition," but I managed to miss that in my delight at finding it available from Amazon. Easy to see why I missed it: the title is, after all, "Shakespeare and Music: With Illustrations from the Music of the 16th and 17th Centuries." The text alone is not worthless, but the book's value is significantly reduced without the images. My recommendation: use your local library or buy a used copy of an intact edition that includes the music examples.
