If wondering which edition to buy, go for Wordsworth if you have eye issues and would prefer larger font. Wordsworth has larger font books in comparison to Penguin.

Good first experience. Same cover was sent and delivery was made in time. Although the classic collection needs to improve. You need to add more books especially from Wordsworth.
