Annotation:
	Argues against Hulse's claim that 1,200 copies of the first folio were printed (q.v.). Suggests that "concurrent printing was the norm"; including "when a printer has copy texts for two or more documents...and alternates his [sic] shop's work between them, not necssarily in a regular pattern," which makes it harder to quantify print runs based on watermark evidence, as a ream of paper could be shared between two different printings. Includes appendix suggesting omissions in Rasmussen and West's Catalogue (q.v.). English summary, 282.
