Which is better Oxford World's Classics or Penguin Classics? Why?
>>
>>9725352
What anime is this?

Also, it all depends on the book really. As far as quality, I prefer penguin classics as the plastic on the cover often peels on the Oxfords, but that does vary by book. Really whichever you get is fine - the notes and introduction are generally good enough in both. More extensive in the Oxfords I have but you really don't need it all. Your decision should just be based on price and translation - or maybe cover if you're a faggot like me.

Fun pic. I highly enjoyed it.10/10

Oxford, not even close. Only get Penguins if they have a particular translation that is better than what Oxford provides.

Oxford by a country mile. Almost universally has the best translation, superior paper, covers and notes.
That said Penguin is cheaper so if the book was written in English I do sometimes go with them.

They both aren't usually that great and are just the cheapest options there are with a still reasonable amount of quality. There are usually better editions.

Dumb opinion.

>>9725352
I ordered an oxford because someone here said the quality of their paper is better. It came in today and I dont think it is. Its still alright though and cheaper than penguin.
But if you can spare the few extra bucks penguin is good.

In terms of paper quality, I'd go
Everyman's>>>>>Penguin Deluxe>Penguin=Oxford>>Dover>>>>>>>>>>>Wordsworth
