MichelleWI Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 We do not own this book in any form and I'd like to add it to our home library. Can you please recommend the English version you prefer and include the ISBN so I can stalk the online used booksellers? If you would, please share why you recommend your particular choice.

Oh dear...our particular choice is often made by what we find at the library book sale! In this case, my son used the Modern Library version, translated by John Dryden, revised by Arthur Hugh Clough. Are there better versions? Probably. But ours was a dollar and conveniently ensconced on the bookshelf. It worked. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleWI Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Thank you, Jane. :) I don't believe I've ever seen this book at a used book sale. There are a few coming up soon in our area and if Baby delays his arrival long enough, perhaps I'll have a chance to get a copy. Otherwise I'll look online.

Jane in NC Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Thank you, Jane. :) I don't believe I've ever seen this book at a used book sale. We love attending the library book sale in a nearby town that has a regional university. There are usually tables of classics and text books at the cost of 25 cents to a dollar. The editions may not be the latest, but the price is right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleWI Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Now that would be wonderful. The city we visit most often has a large university. I will try to find out if they have any sort of sale. Thank you for the tip. A nearby town is having a book sale for the area homeschool families and they said they'll have a tent full of 25 cent books. It's close to the point in pregnancy when we tend not to travel but my husband came across the email notification today and declared he would go alone if I couldn't attend.
