Lermontov's A Hero of Our Time, The Upanishads, Herodotus's Histories, and The Upanishads. I also have the box set of the Penguin Little Black Classics, and a couple of the 20th Century Classics series (The Grapes of Wrath and Kate Mansfield's The Garden Party and other stories).

Fuck, forgot to mention I have a copy of John Bunyon's The Pilgrim's Progress.

Gott im Himmel

They're really flimsy. I haven't bought a new one in two or three years, but my two most recent purchases wildly flopped in every direction. The cover and back may as well have been made out of the same paper as the pages —which are super-thin btw. The older versions from, say, 4+ years ago aren't so bad
If I pinch the new Penguin Classics by the spine the pages will flop almost completely vertically. The older ones not so much.

I quite ike the font. Very classic.

their covers are alright, it's their DISGUSTING "deckle-edge" pages that suck. who ever thought this was a good idea?? Fucking Americans and their bizarre idea of "deluxe", how's this fancy, elegant or DELUXE in any fucking way??

I only own Gravity's Rainbow "Deluxe" from Penguin and that was a gift.
I'm pretty autistic about the editions I buy and I've yet to run into one where Penguin is the best available.

Their Faerie Queen is the best one around that isn't academic level or expensive tier. Oxfags don't even publish it.

Wouldn't know, I own the Variorum edition, Hackett edition and the Longman Annotated English Poets edition of the Faerie Queene.

I own these. The English ones have bland covers while the Spanish ones feel a bit more resistent and sturdy. Not even the cheaper Spanish language publishers sell bland covers like English Penguin Classics (at least not where I'm from). Either way it's what's inside that matters, and I'm very pleased with them (and they're inexpensive).

Longman is the gold standard but relatively expensive. Variorum is costly as well. Don't know about the other one. Penguin is the most balanced one between content and price. Not sure why Oxfags don't publish an OWD edition for the general public.

I don't know about prices. I use a price tracking service and have it notify me when the price drops under my desired price.
I paid 12 US dollars for for the Longman Edition and that included shipping from US to Europe.

Really? That's a bargain price, what's the name of this service?

thanks lad

You're welcome.
You should also use BookFinder, ISBNS.fm, and ViaLibri to compare prices before buying books.

Why not both?

Norton critical are the best aesthetics imo. Penguins kind of strike me as being something that I lugged around in high school.
