Edith Grossman translation of Don Quixote

bgalbrecht · 02-13-2010, 03:50 AM

Last year I purchased the Edith Grossman translation of Don Quixote at Fictionwise in eReader format and was disappointed to discover that all of the footnotes for the second and subsequent chapters all pointed to the footnotes from the first chapter. I eventually got a refund from Fictionwise, but I'd still like to purchase a copy of this ebook if I know for sure that the footnotes are correct throughout the book. If you've purchased this ebook in some format, and it has the correct footnotes, please reply with the ebook retailer and the ebook format. Thanks!

I bought the Amazon Kindle version last year and the footnotes were correct.

I'll second that - Kindle and correct footnotes.

Also - this is without a doubt the best translation I've run across. And the footnotes are absolutely required reading. Grossman does great work.
