Best Editions 2015-12-20 07:29:28 Post No. 7483251 [Report]

In this thread we discuss the best editions and/or translations.

Example:
pic related.
1961 Modern Library version of Ulysses. Has some of the type corrections over the 1922 text, but none of the modified Gabler shit. Ulysses is incredibly debated but just using as an example.

What do you consider to be best editions of classic lit?
Take Brothers Karamazov. Best translation? Best printing? What about inclusion of footnotes/endnotes added by editor/translator?

I enjoy the Smollett translation as well. I want to find a nice copy that includes the Dore engravings though.
