Is this edition any good? I know the penguin deluxe edition should be avoided but what about this penguin edition? Or should I just stick to the Vintage classics one?
>>
>>7443416
The penguin deluxe edition is fine now. They got rid of the errors.
Stop perpetuating this meme.

that's the deluxe with the error,
from amazon:
An example, pp. 139-140, last sentence:

...Your task, in the dreams, is often to [cross under the trees through the shadows before something hap] pens.

Checked. Anyway ya looks like you guys are right. I bought it recently, being the only copy I could find out here. Though is that the only problem?
>>
>>7443454
it has some passages missing from what I can recall
>>
>>7443463
Damn, welp looks like I got some shopping to do at some point. Thanks for the help.

Not OP but I've been wondering the same thing
>>
>>7443433

My copy with the same cover doesn't have this error. It's a conspiracy, man.
>>
>>7443546
I checked the pages that one Anon pointed out, looks like I have one with errors.
>>
>>7443440
I have the fuck ugly Brit version of GR, the text itself inside is fine, I see no blurriness or smudging. But yeah, they're god awful to look at.
>>
>>7443475
This thread comes up every now and again.from what I recall, the mistakes are few in number and the missing passage was more like a missing half of a sentence. It's bullshit from a consumer POV but not worth purchasing another copy.
>>
>>7443586
That is true, guess I just feel kinda gipped is all.
>>
Maybe we should get back to the main question....
>>
>>7443416
read this copy this summer...some where printing on the odd 3-4 pages, really faint or really thick, but not huge fuck-ups. worked just fine. go in head first.

This one? Because this is a gorgeous cover, and if you don't want we can work out a deal.

Anyone else have this version? Mine doesn't have that book award thing in the middle, and I'm glad it doesn't.

I assume he means the awful 'Where's Waldo' cover.

Mine has no error there either. This version got me through a grad seminar, looks awesome all taped together with all the white faded to yellow. Not that the other versions aren't cool too.

It FEELS so nice.

I also got pic related.

Mine has that cover and that text, except the part in [ ] is in a hyphenated phrase -- it's not an exact quote -- like that.

So I guess as long as it's there it's not an error?
