I have it. Back cover looks great as well and the text is annotated, which helps a lot with the historical references and such, but the way the pages are cut to resemble parchment or some shit is just awful (sorry, I'm an autistic third-worlder, I couldn't find a proper word for this way of cutting pages)
There's also a similar edition of Dubliners!

White Noise is not difficult to read in terms of vocabulary or syntax. It has fantastic prose still, but you ought to do just fine
>>
>>8751946
Lots of books are cut this way and I don't believe its just for the aesthethic. It is pretty beautiful to be honest and I liked this edition too, Knausgårds foreword was solid aswell. The introduction is shite though, overtly long and brings little of interest regardless of if you read it prior to the novel or afterwards.

The Dubliners one looks great though and I'd love to read it with extensive annotations. Really appreciated the annotations for Portrait. I actually gave that edition of Dubliners to my mother but she hasn't gotten around to it yet

I bought a second copy of Portrait just to get this cover. Totally worth it, the colors are fucking cool. Also that made me want to read it again which was interesting because I saw it in a totally different light.

Don't buy stuff like this Easton Press edition. They're designed to appeal to people who want to feel superficially sophisticated. You'd be better off getting an early printing. That's actually cool.

I bought this because I have no self-control. It's beautiful.
