What a coincidence. I have a post that is bit related to Shakespeare recently here: Today is the Ides of March. Enjoy your ride on the steemit train. (by @ace108)
2nd time in a week in my life, I mentioned Shakespeare to the community here.
I was going to the National Library to attend talk in the evening and had some time when I noticed they have a small exhibit related to the man. Have look at the front and back of this postcard they have for the exhibition.

The First Folio

So, I went up to the 10th floor. First, a little about the life of Shakespeare.

From the side, you can see that it is an old book.

They have a electronic one on a tablet. I kept flipping trying to find the part on "Julius Caesar" but gave up. The darn scroll bar on the right was not accessisible.

It was just a small exhibit but it was a good chance to get this see this but still #whysocurios me wonder there is a way to find the electronic version when I'm home. After some search, conclude the answer is YES and it's here: http://firstfolio.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/

OK, now you have something to do this weekend. Hope you like it.
