Penguin Classics 1985
Price: 99p.
History: I'll say this for my island home. What they lack in a decent cinema, they make up for it with the number of people who dislike this novel enough to hand it over to Oxfam. Pity for them they don't enjoy it, of course, but it means I can pick up some really cool ones. Such as this one, which I found on a school trip to the Town Church.
Look: I presume it's meant to be Chapter 13...anyway, I LOVE this cover. Forget what I said about disliking paintings of Dorian; we live in the native land of the hypocrite anyway xD. I'm not sure it would be very enjoyable to read though. It has a library-style sticker on the side of the spine.
Introduction/Appendices: It's Peter Ackroyd's 1985 intro, which personally isn't great.
