I wrote a lot of shit but it got erased by mistake.

In short, it has useful annotations, an insightful introduction, and nice typesetting.

Appel was in contact with Nabokov throughout the editing process and some annotations are actually comments from Nabokov on a certain passage.

If you want to study Lolita or to know more about it because you really liked it, then go for it. It's definitely worth it.

Pic related, it's my copy. I've read it twice or thrice and it's always a nice experience.

Yes but a word of caution, keep in mind that this is essentially a work of literary criticism (although muddled by Nabokov's input), don't make the mistake of thinking it is infallible. I have seen way to many people regurgitate the books ideas as if they are the final word on Lolita.

This, and you should apply it to any piece of literary criticism. You shouldn't dismiss them, as some idiots here do, but you shouldn't regurgitate them either. They are ways of making sense of a novel, but the reader should use them as tools instead of as a manual. Form your own opinion. After a second reading, with this edition as a tool, you should be well prepared to discuss the novel sensibly.
