Just paid $50 euros for this what am I in for?

M(ob)y Dick

To have been ripped off holy shit

>€50 for a fucking Everyman's Library
You're in for some regret. I've bought a copy of Dubliners from the same publishing house for €10.

I mean I love Everymans Library but anon, be smart with your finances. Penguin Classics' hardcover is about half that. As a novel though it is quite enjoyable.

>$50 euros

not much im afraid...

>>8972520

You can get Everyman's for much cheaper the price and under £10 without having to resort to downloading them online, I can usually find a bunch in a charity shop I frequent for £2

>>8972520
Are you fucking retarded?

Calm down, guys. It's just bait.

I have that version; it's quality.

You were ripped off though.

That's a big book.

The greatest American novel for too much money.

>tfw you want Everyman's Library books but you're poor and never see them at second hand shops.

>$50 euros
what

>>8972520
How, oh how, did you spend 50 dollars on an Everyman's Library edition? I've at most spent 20 dollars and that was something significant like Goethe's works. On average you should only be spending like 8 - 14 dollars on Everyman's.

...who knew Everyman Library was coveted. I just gave away three copies that happened to be printed by that to a friend. Oh well, hope she enjoys them

>>8972520
Unnecessary and overwrought prose.

You're a fucking white whale

I think the question was about the actual contents of the book. Expect a crazed captain of a ship trying to get a whale. That's about as much as I really understood. May have to read again.
Oh yea, I got a fancy version like you but it was only 5 bux

>>8972520
MOBY DICK IN FIVE WORDS

Sail. Tail pale whale. Fail.

Why don't you just read it and find out yourself? Are you that retarded?
