THERES ONE FUCKING SENTENCE CUT SHORT

IT'S A SENTENCE THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE ANYWYAS ITS A BUNCH OF DREAMSCAPE JABBERWOCKY

this, and tbph I prefer the misprint
>>
>>7485803
That's it, huh? Well meme'd, my friend.
>>
>>7485803
So I should just get it because the first print edition is either really fucking hard to find or really fucking expensive?
>>
>>7485814

Penguin corrected the error in later printings of that edition. The one I have sitting on my shelf has the sentence intact. /lit/ is just insufferable about driving memes into the fucking ground.
>>
>>7485871
So purchasing from amazon I would receive a later printing of the edition?
>>
>>7485814
IIRC, the blue(print) edition and the edition with multiple single colored rockets are both fine
>>
>>7485814
NO because deluxe edition is bulky and ugly and costs more

get literally any std. paperback version

Pens? Holy fug.

>costs more
not with holiday deals, it doesn't
>>
>>7485876
I just bought it off amazon a few days ago and it has the typo. If it's something that bothers you go for a different edition.
>>
>>7485876

The 2006 edition that I have has the sentence intact. So I'd assume any edition after that one would have the typo edited as well.
>>
>>7485948
can you post an image of your edition?

Are there any problems with the Vintage editions?
