I paid 2€ for this secondhand edition of Ulysses. Printed in 1986.
Does it worth?
>PS: I'm really surprised with the printing quality, seems better than a lot of 2015 books.
>1986
probably not, sorry bud
Unlucky, you got the shitty Gabler edition- which was unanimously dropped for its numerous edits and changes to the text.
(hence the low price)
Any copy is. Good luck ever really enjoying another book though.
i like books from the 70s/80s better than new editions usually

Could I be wrong?

Thanks mate.

To be honest, I live in a non-English country, and I don't usually see nice books in english. Which one would be a good edition?
Honestly, unless you're an academic studying Ulysses the edition you pick doesn't really matter. The changes are lots of minor differences that you won't notice.

There's really only three editions, in terms of content:
1922- Original
1961-1984 Standard Edition
1984-1990 Corrected Text Gabler Edition
1990-now Standard Edition (same as before)
The corrected edition was only printed for 6 years and was hugely unpopular, by all means still read it, but you won't be reading Ulysses as Joyce wrote it.

So, if you have to choose between the "Original" and the "Standard", what would you say?
Thanks for the info, /lit/mate.
I just bought the 1922 text, the Shakespeare and Co. version. That's fine, right?
Got that 1961 hardcover one from modern library. Two bucks. Not shabby.

Green cloth binding? I got the same one, but for ~$15. Got it "used" but it's clearly never been read, and I love those cloth modern library texts.
