Eric Rasmussen of the University of Nevada/Reno spent two decades studying the 232 surviving copies of the First Folio, the collection of Shakespeare's plays published by his friends after his death. His research resulted in a definitive scholarly work as well as a general-interest book, The Shakespeare Thefts: In Search of the First Folios. While the only Canadian-held copy of the Folio is displayed in Stratford, Dr. Rasmussen shares stories of those who have possessed, lost, stolen and treasured these priceless pieces of cultural history.
