After I realized I had bought the shitty edition of Paradise Lost (Oxford World's Classics), I bought the superior Penguin edition and since I live in a non-Anglophone country I had to keep the shitty one. Also I own two editions of Ulysses because one is hardcover and very readable and the other has nice notes.
Owning multiple copies of the same book
Should I cum in one
Read them ofc.
Megan said she hid notes in some editions. I'm going to buy a third signed copy at some point but I've kind of given up hope of finding the special editions
I own 3 copies of Ulysses and 3 copies of Gravity's Rainbow. I'm just collecting editions.
For Ulysses I have Vintage for reading, a Dover 1922 text that looks more like the OG S&C edition than any other, and a Modern Library hardcover from the 60s with an acceptable amount of wear on the jacket.
I always look for Viking GRs at used book stores but I've had no luck, but I don't want to give up and order online just yet.
It's surprisingly comfy for such a formal text.
My father (RIP) was a psychologist. When he passed away, he had something like 10 copies each of Tuesdays With Morrie and I Never Promised You A Rose Garden.
