elsussman, I agree with everything you say, just not your math. 10000 at a penny is $100.00. Now go back and edit and make me look like an idiot here!

stand corrected that's why my son is the mathematical expert in the family and not his old man!!!

Yes, the MMPB is also from Penguin (actually Signet, a Penguin imprint).

With the greatest respect, you're entirely missing the "point" of Penguin Classics. The reason they are such excellent books is that they are scholarly editions, with introductions, footnotes, etc. That's why I have a bookshelf full of them, even though the basic text is in the public domain. You get a heck of a lot more from the Penguin Classics edition.
