The Macmillan Company, 1954. First edition, first printing cloth bound hardcover with dust jacket protected in mylar of The Annotator: The Pursuit of an Elizabethan Reader of Halle's Chronicle Involving some Surmises About the Early Life of William Shakespeare by Alan Keen and Roger Lubbock, with genealogical tables by Norman Long-Brown and Frances Keen.

"When Alan Keen, a British bookseller, opened at random a copy of Halle's Chronicle he did not dream that he was at the threshold of what might be one of the most exciting literary discoveries of our time. But his attention was immediately arrested by the Elizabethan annotations, now faded and brown, in the margins of this old book... Was it possible that this very copy, printed in 1550, was the one used by the dramatist [William Shakespeare]?"

This book includes black and white illustrations.

Very Good. Dust jacket complete and protected in mylar. A nice copy with light shelf wear.
