They are very low quality/non-lit in terms of English over here, you are lucky to walk away with a penguin, so I'm happy this one shop exists.

It has captivated me for years now but I've never gotten around to ordering it. I'm not a big fan of the split volumes but I found them in perfect condition for $4 each. Some day I'll get ahold of the first edition but this will work until then. It's the book on my shelves I'm most excited about reading.

I'm trying to branch out a little more and read works from a wider variety of authors (outside of my typical sphere of European/American high modernism). I'm glad to hear it was a good choice. Any others of his I should pick up?
