Does it have the full text of Moby Dick in it? If so, then you're good.

>>9677106
What the fuck are you expecting?

It's Penguin, so the notes are shit and the paper's shit and the printing's shit. But...it's an English work. You don't have to worry about the translation. If the notes don't matter to you, and the paper doesn't matter to you, then it'll be fine.

I didn't know penguin was this bad :(

>>9677127
They're not you turbotard because they give you what actually matters (the text) for RELATIVELY cheap (not really desu...).

Otherwise get Norton or something

>(not really desu...).
Penguins are like $10

I wonder who's behind this post.

can someone honestly tell me are the penguins good or bad?
there are so many fucking editions of moby dick I feel crazy just browsing them... I thought penguin would be pretty damn good but it doesn't have footnotes and now I'm very concerned do I need footnotes or do I not need footnotes...I don't fucking know, I've never read moby dick before

Penguins are good for students. Their shoddy enough to allow for underlining and highlighting and scribbling notes. They're made to be disposable, not for re-reading over the years.

>>9678158
They're fine, just rip the covers off so no one knows you're reading a penguin. I did the same to the back of my macbook

>>9676778
Stupid question desu, they are all trash.

You just read the shit to be part of the circlejerk that suck each other off pretending to be intellectual.
Eventually you realize the book is shit, just like Scientology, and the cultists that endorsed it are just as stupid as the average trailer trash.

>>9678223
what do you suggest for reading sir?

>>9677116
It sounds like you're confusing Penguin for Wordsworth.

This is a cheap copy so it won't last you, but in terms of the content it's fine, I read it in Penguin.

>>9678175
Implying anyone on the entire planet would give a shit what version you were reading.

As for notes, they are only needed if you are studying it. If you just want to read it and enjoy the ride, most of the symbolism is fairly simple to understand and the prose and characters are extremely compelling, you shouldn't have too much of a problem.

I second this. Moby Dick is one of the easiest classics to start with
