Is this edition any good? I know the penguin deluxe edition should be avoided but what about this penguin edition? Or should I just stick to the Vintage classics one?

The penguin deluxe edition is fine now. They got rid of the errors.
Stop perpetuating this meme.

that's the deluxe with the error,
from amazon:
An example, pp. 139-140, last sentence:

...Your task, in the dreams, is often to [cross under the trees through the shadows before something hap] pens.

Checked. Anyway ya looks like you guys are right. I bought it recently, being the only copy I could find out here. Though is that the only problem?
>>
>>7443454
it has some passages missing from what I can recall
>>
>>7443463
Damn, welp looks like I got some shopping to do at some point. Thanks for the help.

Not OP but I've been wondering the same thing
>>
>>7443433

My copy with the same cover doesn't have this error. It's a conspiracy, man.
>>
>>7443546
I checked the pages that one Anon pointed out, looks like I have one with errors.
>>
>>7443440
I have the fuck ugly Brit version of GR, the text itself inside is fine, I see no blurriness or smudging. But yeah, they're god awful to look at.
>>
>>7443475
This thread comes up every now and again.from what I recall, the mistakes are few in number and the missing passage was more like a missing half of a sentence. It's bullshit from a consumer POV but not worth purchasing another copy.
>>
>>7443586
That is true, guess I just feel kinda gipped is all.
>>
Maybe we should get back to the main question....
>>
>>7443416
read this copy this summer...some where printing on the odd 3-4 pages, really faint or really thick, but not huge fuck-ups. worked just fine. go in head first.

Anyone else have this version? Mine doesn't have that book award thing in the middle, and I'm glad it doesn't.

I assume he means the awful 'Where's Waldo' cover.

Mine has no error there either. This version got me through a grad seminar, looks awesome all taped together with all the white faded to yellow. Not that the other versions aren't cool too.

I also got pic related.

Mine has that cover and that text, except the part in [ ] is in a hyphenated phrase -- it's not an exact quote -- like that.

So I guess as long as it's there it's not an error?
