SPECIAL OFFER #1 This Star of England and: Index to Oxfordian Publications (3rd Edition, paperback, 2015) A must-own, hard-to-find book for anyone engaged in the Oxfordian theory of the Shakespeare authorship debate. This is a very good/excellent used copy without a dust jacket - the binding is tight, clean inside and out, no tears, no foxing of pages, etc.

SPECIAL OFFER #2 Shakespeare Revealed and: Index to Oxfordian Publications (3rd Edition, paperback, 2015) This is a must-have book for anyone exploring the Oxfordian view of the Shakespeare authorship debate. Fowler's years of meticulous research in comparing words and phrases used in Oxford's surviving letters with the same words and phrases as used by Shakespeare is impressive. The copy offered here is slightly used, in very good/excellent condition overall, but with a dust jacket that has a small tear and a small piece missing on the front bottom left. |

SPECIAL OFFER #3 The Monument and: Index to Oxfordian Publications (3rd Edition, paperback, 2015) The Monument presents a new discovery about the form and content of "Shake-Speares Sonnets" of 1609. The book offers a new edition of the 154 verses to demonstrate that Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford constructed a "monument" to preserve "the living record" of Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton as the rightful successor by blood to Queen Elizabeth I of England. In the exact center of the elegant monument is a 100-sonnet diary from the Essex Rebellion of 1601 to the Queen's death and funeral in 1603, when the Tudor dynasty ended. This breakthrough edition shows why Oxford was forced to sacrifice his own identity to save the life of Southampton, his unacknowledged royal son, and secure the promise of his release from the Tower of London with a royal pardon. Here is the "smoking gun" of the Shakespeare authorship mystery, preserved in the Sonnets of Shakespeare. |

SPECIAL OFFER #4 The de Veres of
Castle Hedingham and: Index to Oxfordian Publications (3rd Edition, paperback, 2015) An excellent/mint-condition copy of Verily Anderson's now out-of-print history of one of England's most ancient families, which devotes special attention to the 17th earl of Oxford, Edward de Vere. |

|
SPECIAL OFFER #10 The Mysterious William Shakespeare An "excellent" barely used 1992 edition (with dust jacket) of Charlton Ogburn's original 1984 book that re-ignited the authorship debate in the 1980s, paving the way for the Supreme Court Moot Court debate in 1986 and the Frontline documentary in 1989. |
|
SPECIAL OFFER #11 The Shakespearean The Shakespeare Ciphers Examined is considered a classic in the both the fields of codebreaking and of Shakespeare authorship studies. It is considered to have pretty much sounded the death knell for the Baconians, who depend heavily on cipher solutions to support their man. This 1958 US printing is in "excellent" condition, with a "very good" dust jacket wrapped in mylar. |
|
SPECIAL OFFER #12 The Case for Shakespeare's Authorship of the An intriguing book that illustrates the intricacies and contadictions of authorship studies, for as Pitcher makes his case for "Shakespeare" having authored this anonymous play, he runs head on into the 11th Earl of Oxford's role in the play, and what that might say about the 17th Earl's possibly then being the true author of Famous Victories. This first edition is in "excellent" condition, with a "very good" dust jacket wrapped in mylar. |
|
SPECIAL OFFER #13 Alias Shakespeare Sobran's book caused quite a stir just 18 years ago as he proposed a homosexual solution to the Shakespeare problem, based mostly on his reading of the Sonnets. But agree with him or not, this is a very well-written book, especially the first hundred pages or so in which he lays out all the reasons the Stratford man can't be Shakespeare. This is a new, unread copy in excellent/mint condition with |
