What is the best edition of Ulysses? I picked up the shitty blue Dover edition, huge mistake. Is there one the that has footnote or explanation and a good intro?
I'm personally trying to decide between the Alma Classics publication (1939 text) and the Oxford World Classics publication (1922 text). I'm wondering exactly how jarring or confounding the various errors actually are.
America: Vintage paperback, Modern library hardcover, Everyman's Library
UK: Penguin classics annotated

Why don't you go for Everyman's Library? I assure you won't regret.
>>7619884
which one of the three American one do you think is best for first time readers. I've heard Everyman's even has maps
>buying a dover
>of anything
>ever

I just checked the back my copy. There's this, I wouldn't call it a map though.

hence why I said Ive heard. I heard it on /lit/ btw
>>7620287
is there any good sources that explain these? I picked up some things but I feel a lot went over me

Oxford is great, I'm reading it right now and it's really well annotated and well made. Highly recommended.
>tfw have a shit Wordsworth edition
>tfw had to annotate it myself
>tfw bought a translated edition of Ulysses in my mother tongue later on to see what it's like
>tfw the translated edition had circa a thousand footnotes and the map of Dublin + an essay on the novel written by the translator
>tfw reading it in English while checking the notes in the translated edition

Gabler

nah get gabler + annotations for second/third readthrough not first
Why is the Everyman's library edition regarded as the best?

Nah brah, you're wrong. Dover has a few real gems out there. Especially some of their little $3 anthologies of shit you can't find anywhere.
>>7619842
Stick with it and buy or pirate Ulysses Anotated as well. No simpe annotated edition can compeet with full book of just annotations.

Most of there publications are really shitty cheap prints with no intros or anything of value. The paper is often really cheap and the covers retarded looking. They are on the same level of wordworth as far as shittiness goes

Gabler, bar none. Anyone releasing 1922 editions is cashing in on an expired copyright.

Dover actually has some pretty good mathematics textbooks & music. However, if you use them for anything else, you're probably going to get shit.

The books... are cheap.
