Wordsworth Classics 1996
Price: Well, technically it was free...but I spent £3.99 on buying a different copy to swap for it.
History: Ah, I'm proud of this one. This has always been my second favourite copy. Even when it wasn't mine. It belonged to the school library. I gave it loving looks for years, and took it out goodness knows how many times. I gave the librarian some fairly unsubtle hints, and extracted a deal - I could have it, if I got her a new one. Which I did. This is another one I actually read. It's mad, I really do feel more comfortable reading certain bits in certain copies. Perhaps I love this one so much because this is the one my favourite bit, chapters 12 to 14, feel best in.
Look: It's certainly not because of the look, because to be frank it's not the nicest copy I've ever seen. The picture on the front's ok...ish, certainly not great. The words look wonderful on the page though.
Introduction/Appendices: Dr Joseph Bristow writes an ok introduction, but there's nothing new or special about it.
