An
investigation of the authenticity of the Bard's authorship along
with others of his period who are suspected candidates for the
position. The joy is holding it in your hands and feeling the
copper slip case and the smooth leather covers. It is an
accordion structure with five hand sewn sections containing
information on the research done on each "candidate"
for authorship of the Shakespeare writings. The seventeen
portraits were "painted" on a PC computer by Patrice
Baldwin with a program called Fractal Painter. They animate from
Shakespeare into the Earl of Oxford into Marlowe into Sir Francis
Bacon and finally into Queen Elizabeth. 2 1/2 X 2 7/8 inches high

sample mounted inside the book. A circular tunnel going through
each page allows you to see the azurite as you read her story.

inches, 39 very funny pages. The illustrations were
