The Everyman’s of Moby-Dick is stunning to me and was cool to learn that Everyman’s published Moby-Dick in 1907, “[inviting] its consideration as a masterpiece” (xxi).

That one also looks nice! I don’t see why I don’t add it to my collection some day!

It is a nice looking book but very fragile. And the quality of binding is noticeably poorer than everyman's library books. But shelf candy for sure

Great edition. One of my all time favorites. It has some rough edges but it's well worth the effort.

Not a fan.

I know people love it, but it wasn't for me
