Penguin because you don't need oxford's notes. It's meant to be confusing and flipping to the notes after every sentence would make it a dreadful chore to read.

what about this one https://booko.co.uk/9781447470298/Finnegans-Wake

are there any hardcover editions that arent heinously expensive?

Oxford doesn't have notes, you idiot. Next time do some research before memeing.

Get the Oxford one it looks the nicest, and I have it and it's as good as it gets. If you want notes your gonna need one of the supplementary books

hows the paper & print quality etc

It's perfect, not like how their Ulysses edition (which I still like) is a scan of one of the original 1922 editions which leave printing errors and typos the Finnegan's wake edition is made to look nice. Also all the sections with weird formatting are still intact. And it's cheap.

Just buy it already :)

if i cant find a decent hardcover edition i probably will

what makes the oxford better than the penguin?

The only problem with the Oxford edition is that the spine sucks and I have several pages that look as though they're about to split the book in half.

Are there any sturdier editions with all of Joyce's corrections?

wow
youve turned me off the oxford edition

how many language should i know to read this???

>>7843445
all of them

>>7843311
apparently the penguin one changed the format so if you plan on researching and clarifying certain parts as you go using the penguin edition will make it more difficult to do so.

>>7843517
what do you mean changed the format?

changed it from how joyce wrote it?

why would they do that?

>>7843663
He probably means the pagination is different from the original manuscript (they either split it into more pages or put more stuff on less pages) though Penguin has been known to make typoes and other sorts of copyediting errors with long books so who knows.

>>7843692
aww fuck
so if penguin messes with the formatting
and oxford falls apart

what does a nigga do???

what about this version that i posted previously >>7843074
