The Classics discussion
Picking an edition.

I also like the Penguin paperback classics--they are designed nicely, fall open to your place in the book, nice sized print.
For this month's book I just read the first online version I could find. I figured that everyone would pick up different editions and thought it would be interesting to compare them.
A book I'm reading now suggests getting a book without annotation so that you can read with less distraction, but that goes against what I normally look for-- I usually like the background information. Wondering if that's been a bad idea.
Preferences?
Admittedly, the way a book looks and feels also plays a part in what I get. Bad habit, I know.
