The front cover of this handsome Shakespeare journal reproduces a page from the only known fragment of a play in Shakespeare's handwriting - "Sir Thomas More", while the back is gold debossed with "William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) Sir Thomas More ~ 1595".

The cover has been gold foiled, embossed and embellished until it's something very unique indeed, leaving the wonderful worn feel shown.
