I like the one that has The Tempest in it. Some are more partial to the Othello one and I can see why. Of course the King Lear one isn't bad either.

The Norton second edition, nigger

>> No.9677487

The Norton Third edition it's second best only to the Riverside. The one thing the Riverside doesn't have, tho, is an online edition, which the Norton does have and comes for free with each copy.

I'm eyeing the Doubleday & Co. Inc, version with the Rockwell Kent Illustrations at my local used bookstore. How is it?
