Haha. Yes, Harry. I got these books in pbook form. Do you have something against pbooks?
When I read
The Count of Monte Cristo and
A Tale of Two Cities for the first time, they were in ebook format, and I had a really difficult time accessing the explanatory footnotes. So I decided for books that I want to read and have notes at the end and footnotes, I would get them and read them in pbook.
When I was at the store, I saw the same edition of
The Count of Monte Cristo I read in ebook and I really wanted to own a copy of it in pbook but I didn't buy it. I may get it the next time I'm there. My sister has the Oxford World's Classic edition of the book. I want to reread the book someday but I'm not sure if I should try another translation (the edition my sister has) or just stick with Buss'.
