    • Shakespeare's First Folio, the first complete collection of his plays, was almost never printed. Its eventual publication went practically unnoticed, and many of the original 750 copies were gone before the turn of the eighteenth century. But a hundred years later the plays were rediscovered, beginning the long, surprising process that secured Shakespeare's legacy. Paul Collins follows this book's journey through the centuries, as it lies undiscovered for decades, burns, sinks, is bought and sold, and ultimately becomes untouchable.

      The narrative centers on Mack 'Max' Dunstan, a versatile actor known for iconic roles in classic films such as The Ten Commandments and Planet of the Apes. Despite his impressive career, he is now primarily recognized for his controversial political views and outspoken personality in the modern landscape dominated by social media and reality television. The book explores the contrast between his rich cinematic legacy and the narrow perception shaped by contemporary societal norms.
