Hey /lit/, first time poster here.

You guys don't seem to have a /stupid questions general/ thread on here so I hope you don't mind if I open this thread for my stupid question:

What version(s) of "The Book of the New Sun" is (are) recommended?

(pic related, for example, is from Orb (I think))
>>

Why would you need a specific 'version'? Book was written in English, brah.
>>
It's english so literally whatever the fuck you want
>>
>>9063538
The one with the coolest cover

Ah ok thanks. Thought there's maybe a bad publisher who puts books out on cheapo paper or some such.
>>
>>9063612
There are (there always are), but who's got time to figure out which? I'm assuming you're not buying physical.

It's not a big deal anyway. You're reading it, not wiping your arse with it (I assume).
>>
>>9063612
Although I should say that if you've got an e-reader, you can very easily pirate the thing.
>>
I looked on Amazon and unless I'm missing something, the edition that you posted is the only one that's in print.
>>
>>9063622
I was planning to.

I dislike reading on tablets and most e-readers are too small for my liking (or cost a fortune when sized appropriately).
>>
>>9063627
You're missing something.
>>9063633
Then...check the paper for yourself. Your store isn't likely to stock multiple editions, though.
>>
>>9063651
>You're missing something.

I'll take your word for it, I suppose.
>>
>>9063651
I'll order the version published by Orb.
Bookstores in my country have terrible selections when it comes to science fiction or fantasy so I won't even bother to look.
>>
>>9063657
I own a different publisher's edition, which I bought a few months ago.
>>
OP has autism to be worrying about different editions of an english language work
>>
>>9063538
you should get this version, OP

ISBN: 1840226617

>Reading a translation
>Missing the translator's note at the end of the first book
>Not sitting down with the original manuscript, Roget's Urthsaurus, and a nice pot of brain fluid to puzzle it out yourself.
Never stop plebbin, /lit.,
>>
>>9063538
I dunno, but stay the fuck away from P&V.
