First Folio found French library

A nice find with handwritten production notes:

A rare and valuable Shakespeare First Folio, regarded as the most important book in English literature, has been discovered in a small French town.



The book had lain undisturbed in a library in Saint-Omer, near Calais in northern France, for 200 years.



It was discovered by librarians planning an exhibition on the historic links between the region and England.



"The work has several pages missing, including the title page," librarian Remy Cordonnier told the press.



The loss of the first page and introductory material may have led to the book being catalogued as an unexceptional old edition, he added.
