They were published in book form. Some eighteen of the plays were published during Shakespeare's lifetime as separate plays in what we call Quarto editions. Some plays went through more than one Quarto edition. In 1623 two of Shakespeare's friends and fellow-actors gathered up a bunch of these Quartos plus the scripts they had lying around the theatre and published what's called The First Folio, a collection of 36 plays. We no longer have any of the handwritten copies they used as sources--when scripts are actually used by actors and directors they have a tendency to get pretty beaten up and eventually thrown out.
