King Richard III by William Shakespeare, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Shakespeare's early history play charts the rise and fall of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who schemes and murders his way to the English throne. It opens with the famous "Now is the winter of our discontent" and ends on Bosworth Field with "A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!" Few villains in literature are as magnetic or as darkly funny.
