Is it a paperback?

reminder that any cover which actually shows the whale automatically misses the point of the whole book.

unsure. ive only ever seen it on /lit/. harpooners are on a boat in the foreground.

Better question: which edition is best? And how do you judge a good edition? By its packaging, footnotes, essays, etc? Legit question btw

Obviously the first edition is the best. For something accessible, get the Arion Press reprint done by the University of California. Kino typeface, booksetting, and illustrations.

Penguin classic. It's a cheap paperback, so it's lightweight and easy to write in. Couple that with a lecture series on the book (Dreyfus is excellent for MD).
