Is the everyman library edition of this good enough or should I look at another? I hate footnotes being on the back of the book and if this is gonna have a fuck ton I want to know.
I heard the Folio Edition is terrible and the Everyman's Library edition is far better
>>24766038Just use two bookmarks.What other extant versions are there, unless you go second hand?Having got a Kindle I only buy physical if they are cornerstone, showcase books, and I've been meaning to buy this very version for so long.
>>24766038It's the edition I've got, and I've been getting on with it OK.All the same, the footnotes are fucking insane: in some cases they take up more of a page than the text.The worst part is some snotty Christfag commentator called Oliphant Smeaton who insists on shitting up the book.
>>24766071I've seen this one but have no idea what the footnotes are like
>>24766038No, those cut out Gibbon's footnotes completely. Get the three volume Penguin release, that one supposedly keeps them. Will probably be cheaper, too.>t. remember researching which edition to get a couple months ago
>>24766038Mine moulded really bad which is strange given that none of my other books have mold on them or ever have. I didn’t even have this problem with my other Everyman’s hardcovers
>>24766194They must be a different Everyman edition to mine, then.Admittedly mine are hardbacks dating from 1936.
