goddamn it guys, I purchased Dover Thrift Editions of Plato, Aristotle, and Aurelius before I was bathed in the elitism of /lit/
(don't worry, in true lit fashion, I haven't cracked the spines on any of them, although I have had them for several weeks)
I just caught on to actually caring what editions of books you buy, and luckily, I started caring at the right time, because I ordered $50 or so of reading material to read before I tackle Plato and Aristotle (The Iliad, The Odyssey, etc), and I have those in editions I like (I got the Fagles translations)
What I am asking is good versions of Plato's and Aristotle's must-reads, because the Dover Thrift Editions are not on-par to what I was expecting.
(Don't worry I won't donate them to Goodwill I'll do the right thing and Fahrenheit 451 their ass)
Just cheap editions of Plato and Aristotle that are more readable the the Dover Thrift Editions, thank you.
I have an unread copy of that edition too. What exactly is wrong with it?

Hackett editions are usually the best received.

Last Days Of Socrates collects four Plato dialogues (Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Phaedo) in a slim Penguin volume with end notes. I prefer smaller volumes, such as this, rather than the large and unwieldy omnibuses.

Its fitting a massive amount of dialogues into a small "value" book. So its tiny font, little notes and little-to-no preface....
460 for six dialogues compared to the Peguin edition of "The Republic" that has 496 pages....
Complete Plato from Hackett, Complete Aristotle (2 vols) from Princeton

Nothing wrong with Dover Thrift Editions.
>not purchasing John Cooper's edited complete works of Plato

Do they have footnotes/end notes in them?

Check the sticky plebeian. It pretty much covers all these topics
