Alas, not so reasonably priced in the US, where it costs five times as much

The two editions I'm looking at are the Penguin Classics (translation by Christine Donougher) and the Signet Classics (translated by Norman MacAfee and Lee Fahnestock). Both are modern, unabridged translations. Both are about $10.
