that the Bodmer holds the largest collection of early Shakespeare editions outside the Anglophone world?
that the original price for a bound copy of the First Folio when it was first published in 1623 was about £1?
that Bodmer bought most of his Shakespearean books from the American collector A. S. W. Rosenbach in 1951?
that the Bodmer contains 24 early modern printed English books which survive in just 10 or fewer copies?
more than 230 copies of the First Folio survive, but the Bodmer copy is the only one in Switzerland?
