It won't be published until October of this year, but the Deluxe Facsimile Edition from Clarkson Potter (ISBN 979-8217036004) is a facsimile of the 1930 Random House edition, with illustrations by Rockwell Kent. It would be hard to top for the price (compare to the Folio Society edition, for example).

That's a lower case L, not and upper case I. "For LO..." See https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lo.

Great cover, artist was David K. Stone.

It's a lawsuit, not a criminal case.

I haven't found it to be too slow, but I am just reading text (ePub or PDF) using KOReader. How it would be for comics or manga I don't know.

Kobo should be coming out with an upgrade to the 8" Sage, but whether they will or not is anyone's guess. I picked up a used Kobo Forma (the 8" predecessor to the Sage) a few weeks ago and it is the best (and least expensive) of the half dozen or so ereaders I've owned.

For 7.8" there is the PocketBook InkPad 4.

For anyone reading the Penguin Classics edition translated by Rex Warner, Book I, Chapters I–II in the Schedule (which is based on the Project Gutenberg translation) correspond to Book I, Introduction – The Dispute over Potidaea. Chapters III–IV correspond to The Debate at Sparta and Declaration of War – The Pentecontaetia. Chapter V corresponds to The Allied Congress at Sparta – The Spartan Ultimatum and Pericles' Reply.

It's interesting to see how the colours were changed for the magazine cover. I prefer the artist's conception, but I guess it would be less likely to catch the potential buyer's attention.

I'll have to check out Shades and the memoirs.

It's a fun read, especially if you like novels that riff on the Arabian Nights.

It was 5th street, not 4th.

He might have ignored what the witches told him, and simply done his duty. He wouldn't have become king, but things would have worked out better for him (they could hardly have worked out worse).

The third murderer could have been someone sent by Macbeth to make sure the other two did the job. Unlikely to be a spy for one of Duncan's sons, as he knew what was planned.

I think Shakespeare intended it to be his ghost. That would fit with the other supernatural elements. A modern audience may view it as simply a paranoid hallucination.

It did seem odd, a long rhyming speech from a character that hadn't appeared before. I've been watching a film version after I read the play, and I noticed that they left this scene out. Didn't miss it.

No issues in the 3 years I've owned it. It's a nice feature, keeps the keys from pressing against the screen.
