The Norton Critical edition is superior.

I like the non-translation B&N editions. If it's a translated work, they'll usually use an outdated public domain translation. Some of the translations aren't bad, though, I'm fond of the Don Quixote and Thus Spoke Zarathustra editions they put out.

For the Greek tragedies you should stick to Chicago University Press.

In the Major Works Oxfords, flipping to the back for the notes is a huge pain. Norton notes are all on the page. The Norton criticals do look pretty shitty as far as spine and covers go tho (if you're into that sort of thing).

And especially for Norton, their version of KJV bible just has more detailed notes while Oxford just has a little summary in the back.

Also all the little extras and criticism is cool.

Just imagine the books we would put out...abject garbage probably, but it would be humorous.

While I agree that Dover is shit quality, my poorfag ass can't say no to the 50 cent price tag on most of them.

Oxford edition edits the text. For instance, "mine", for the form Early Modern English uses for "my" before vowels, is turned to "my" in the Oxford.

Also, the Norton Critical has way more supplemental material, and it's throughout rather than just at the back.

Typical autistic behavior, classifying large groups of things (which are not only subjective to taste and preference but they are also of varying qualities within each group) for absolutely no reason other than an inner feeling of belonging to a group.
