Book printed 400 years ago is one of fewer than 20 copies in private hands
An original copy of William Shakespeare’s First Folio, often referred to as the most important book in English literature, will be auctioned next month in New York.
The book, which was printed almost 400 years ago, is one of fewer than 20 copies left in private hands and is estimated to fetch up to $2.5m (£2m), according to the auction house Sotheby’s.
