I wish I had copies like this at Drama School. Essential notes on the language for those who will get up and speak it, not purely for those who will sit and study it. An incredibly useful tool with room on every page to make notes. Next time I 'm in rehearsal on a Shakespeare play, I have no doubt that a copy from this series will be in my hand.
