The various editions of the
Complete Works include a number of
university press releases, as well as versions released from larger publishing companies. The
Complete Works (especially in older editions) are often sought after by
book collectors, and a number of binderies and publishing houses have produced
leather bound and gilded releases for luxury
book collecting. Both mainstream and academic publishing companies have released multiple editions and versions of their own collections of Shakespeare's work, often updated periodically. Multiple editors contribute to the processes of laying out the
Complete Works, and many times either the main editor, publishing company, or university's name is included in the title. (For instance, the
Complete Works published by the
Arden company is often referred to as the
Arden Shakespeare, and the edition produced by
Yale University called the
Yale Shakespeare.)
