I am trying to price research the above volume. I can't find anything with this spelling of Shakespeare.  Can anyone shed light on this situation?

I did find out that this spelliong varied. but I'm having trouble matching this book up to others. The leather cover spells is Shakspeare, but the title page spells it Shakspere.

Even Shakespeare had trouble spelling his own name. We can forgive the odd slip by a publisher.

 

Individual volumes from a set are rarely worth much. You'd need to match it up to a buyer with that particular volume missing from his/her part set.

 

But there are always exceptions. If this is one somebody will be along shortly to let you know.

 

You didn't mention who the publisher is.

Thank you.  I DID find this volume after posting the question. I re-spelled the search using the other spelling.
