Who gives a full name to their book, like this:

"Who's who and what's what in Shakespeare : giving references by topics to notable passages and significant expressions, brief histories of the plays, geographical names and historical incidents, mention of all characters and sketches of important ones, together with explanations of allusions and obscure and obsolete words and phrases"?

I mean, who in their right mind does that? I have read shorter prefaces, introductions and forewords. Do you want to know what the book is about? Go read it yourself, but be forewarned... Bring a bookmark for the title page.
