Why invest in Rogue Shakespeare®?

As well as being worthy artistic investments in themselves, Rogue Shakespeare’s products have observable long-term potential rewards that savvy investors might like to consider:

It is now self-evident that our very own 21st century bard, Rogue Shakespeare® (aka Ryan J-W Smith), has been very favourably compared to the 16th century bard, William Shakespeare, by countless professional critics, award-givers, and ardent fans of theatre, poetry and literature.

This begs the obvious question:

If you could go back in time and purchase early copies of Shakespeare’s works, would you?

Like Shakespeare’s works, Rogue Shakespeare® products – especially books of Rogue Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets – tend to appreciate in value. This can be observed on Amazon etc., where 3rd party sellers sell used copies of Smith’s books at extraordinary prices, whenever they can get them in stock.

Further to this, the market value of Smith’s books seem particularly high where the publisher, noticing how Smith tends to update his plays and sonnets over time, started to do very small initial print runs – sometimes just 50 or 100 copies at a time – thereby (accidentally) making some of those early prints and editions very rare and highly valuable today.

As such, we strongly encourage fans and supporters of theatre, poetry and literature to invest now in Rogue Shakespeare® books and products – so you can benefit alongside Rogue Shakespeare® as awareness of his unique and extraordinary skill with language and verse continues to grow worldwide 💪🪙❤️🙌💰🎄
