Picked up a marked-up and well-beaten copy of the Norton Critical Edition of Shakespeare's Henry the IVth, Part I. Perhaps now I can get to the bottom of Act II, Scene I.
The much-beloved Seminary Co-op Bookstore, Chicago's labyrinthine repository of all that is printed for the social sciences and humanities, has a special section for the Norton Critical Editions, and their distinctive spines leap out from bookshelves wherever I look. After leaving Chicago, I was distressed to discover that other bookshops don't keep their Nortons all together in a special section, and spent two frustrating weeks looking for a NCE of Moby-Dick before uncovering one at Dutton's Brentwood Books.
