I, honestly, don’t get the hate Penguin receives. I enjoy the introductions and footnotes they include that aren’t found with other publishers. I don’t think I could have properly read Joyce without the explanatory footnotes that helped me understand 19th Century Irish slang.

The only "problem" with Everyman's is that the label on the spine peels off. Not fades, but peels, because it's like iron-on kind of material and not stitched labeling. But I don't care, I still have the dust jackets if a label gets completely worn off and I can't read what book it is, and it looks kind of charming anyway.
