What's the best English version of Baudelaire's Les Fleurs Du Mal? Mainly focused on the translation aspect but I am also looking for a physical book if there's a good copy out there, paperback or otherwise. I'm learning French (slowly) so if there's a version with English and French that would be ideal

Wanna learn french? Here you go:
Je n'en sais rien, mais essaye plutôt de trouver une traduction des petits poèmes en prose / le spleen de paris. La traduction devrait être plus fidèle à l'original que les fleurs du mal, à cause des contraintes des pieds et des rimes.
Voici une édition bilingue des petits poèmes en prose. Attention, ce n'est pas complet, c'est seulement une sélection.

You should get the Oxford World's Classics edition. It has both French and English texts side by side.
