Sometimes reviews make it clear that one edition is better than the other but when its not so obvious what do you guys generally go with?
there was a similar thread recently.
basically i go with owc if i can because i find their quality is a lot better. the black penguin classics have had bad glue/stitching, easy ink smearing, and the black flakes off. they can both look great though, usually do imo.
Oxford over penguin, almost always.
This is true both for quality and translators.
Oxfords usually have notes in them. So Oxfords, though Penguins are better if I don't care so much for translation or notes and just want a cheap book
oxford >>> penguin = B&N

haha "ass"
>Penguin
I much prefer penguin. Oxford books seem very cheap, and stiff, and the ink smudges. Penguin has a much more flexible spine, nicer paper too.
given the choice I usually go with Oxford.
