What is the best edition of Moby Dick?

I prefer legible copies free of printing errors and unstained with human bodily fluids or foodstuffs overall.

But does it have good annotations?

Honestly doesn't matter too much. Oxford World Classics has annotations on all their books, and I would assume they have Moby-Dick in their selection.

Someone more knowledgable than me might know of an edition with better footnotes, but if you don't get an answer just pick up that edition.

>footnotes

meant annotations. No idea why I wrote that.

California edition

or whatever other edition has based illustrations like these.

It was great because instead of me wondering or having to google what a 19th century Nantucket whaling vessel looked like there'd be a detailed diagram of one on page 45.
>wtf is a gullhuggydugdoop and how does that get tied in a split-double-angler knot then cast in the air? oh wait there's a picture on page 45
>how does this knife-spade differ from the 12 others they've been using oh wait it's on page 80

It's just convenient and the art style was chaste and suiting to Melville's descriptive and precise style. It's not like the cartoony Penguin Deluxe cover.

Thanks. I'll look into it.

I've also heard the Library of Literature edition is pretty sweet, but it's very old, and more expensive. Has anyone here read that specific version?
