Advice on War and Peace edition
Hello -
I'm looking to purchase a nice edition of War and Peace. These are the things I am looking for, in order of importance: 1) Multiple volumes - this book is too large to be in a single volume! 2) Ideally a Constance Garnett translation 3) Unabridged 4) Nice hardcover binding, paper, layout, etc. There are so many editions out there it is hard to know what is a nice one and what is not. I went to Powells today but they only had some recent editions that I did not like. I found a couple of interesting ones on Abebooks: London, William Heinemann 1904 3 Volumes, Constance Garnett translation 8vo Sounds perfect, but it's very expensive! London: The Reprint Society, 1960. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Special Edition. 4to - over 9=BE" - 12" tall Constance Garnett Ok price, but one volume. I'm looking to spend something under $100.00. Does anyone have an edition to recommend? thanks, Karl |
