Eric Rasmussen is recognized as one of the world's leading Shakespeare scholars. His name is on virtually every respectable edition of Shakespeare's works, all of which received critical acclaim
Rasmussen is working on a book that catalogues all known copies of the First Folio worldwide (to be published in 2011). This research has yielded a wealth of previously unknown information about stolen First Folios over the course of four centuries, and has led to countless adventures around the globe, described in this book
One of the most sensational recent cases of a retrieved stolen Folio was at the center of arecent trial against the eccentric art thief who claimed he bought the Folio in good faith from one of Fidel Castro's body guards. Rasmussen was called as an expert witness for this trial
