Kohler, Jr., a pivotal figure in mid-20th century Wisconsin politics. It traces his career from his role in the family's plumbing fixture empire to his three terms as Governor of Wisconsin from 1951 to 1957. The book details his leadership of the moderate wing of the state's Republican Party, positioning him as a pragmatic and progressive conservative. A central focus is his famous and ultimately unsuccessful 1957 Senate race against William Proxmire, a contest that marked a key turning point in Wisconsin's political landscape. The biography portrays Kohler as a figure who navigated the complex currents of the post-war era, including the rise of McCarthyism and the internal battles within the Republican party.

Although the First Folio comprised 36 plays, both Pericles and The Two Noble Kinsmen are included for completeness. On 8 November 1623, the First Folio of Shakespeare's plays was registered, bringing together the great playwright's work as a single printed collection for the first time and saving it for centuries to come. 400 years on, Folio is delighted to commemorate the anniversary with a sensational limited edition: a triumph of the bookmakers' art and a legacy for future generations, which includes a foreword by Dame Judi Dench and an introduction by Gregory Doran, the RSC's Artistic Director Emeritus. Neil Packer's designs for the elegant, bespoke bindings are inspired by Elizabethan blackwork embroidery his artwork perfectly replicated in sumptuous silk and linen jacquard cloth woven by Stephen Walters & Sons, the oldest silk-weaving company in Britain. Packer has also contributed 40 illustrations and designs for the presentation box. The text, set in black and red throughout, was printed by Northend in Sheffield. Smith Settle, also in Yorkshire, renowned for exemplary craftsmanship, have bound the books employing traditional techniques, and, finally, Stan Lane, the last of the famous Monotype artisan printers, has printed the limitation tip on his original Heidelberg press at his studio in Gloucestershire. Signed and numbered by Neil Packer, the tip is in the front of The Comedies. About William Shakespeare Born in Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire in April 1564, Shakespeare is widely considered to be the world's greatest dramatist and the most influential writer in English. Along with at least 38 plays, he wrote over 150 sonnets and three longer narrative poems. In the late 1500s Shakespeare is noted as being in London, a member of a leading theatrical company, The Lord Chamberlain's Men who performed at the original Globe Theatre. They became The King's Men following the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603. Shakespeare retired to Stratford-upon-Avon where he died on 23 April 1616.
