What's the best edition of James Joyce's Ulysses? (novel, cover, classic)

[SteelersFan09]

This summer, I'll be studying abroad in Dublin,Ireland and will be studying this novel first hand on location. I need to find an edition that's both hardcover (durability) and is a very solid edition of the book. Any recommendations?

I am so Envious of you-what an adventure. Since you are studying there, cant you ask fellow students or perhaps your prof for a few ideas? There is probably no 'wrong' edition.

Yeah, I'm tremendously excited about it. haha, actually I asked both and their exact words were "get the best hardcover edition you can find, it'll probably get a lot of wear and tear". I found one on amazon, but I saw two customer reviews that said it wasn't put together well. As far as the edition goes, I'm unsure myself about a right or wrong edition. Apparently, the book was banned previously and when it was un-banned, some things were altered.

Check this version out here.

It appears to have some very flattering reviews and apparently has an excellent introduction. It is also a British imprint.
