Hi, I'm looking for a book and thought someone in this forum might point me in the right direction.
I'm looking for a hardcover version of the book 'Ulysses', I'm looking for something that I hope will last me and offer a pleasing reading experience. I already have the vintage paperback version with Bloom (?) on the cover, so I'm looking to buy another (high-quality) copy to reread the book.
However, I've found something odd. When trying to find a hardcover edition of this book, I've only found the Modern Library and Everyman's library editions, both of which I think doesn't match what I'm looking for. Actually, I did see another, but I'm ignoring it all completely because a review said it was poorly typed (copy/paste from Gutenberg, lacking italics, etc.).
I've been thinking then, about getting the $50 facsimile of the text (includes the uncorrected 1922 text). Is that a good idea? If not, I was thinking of the Gabler hardcover edition which will probably cost me even more. It is strange that a book like this does not have more hardcover versions that don't cost $100+. Does anyone have any knowledge to offer, or a quality version (physically, that is) that they'd like to reccomend?
