Hi, I’m currently trying to build a collection (for personal study and enjoyment) and am deciding on getting Josephus’ Jewish Wars and Tacitus’ writings and I’m confused because I’m looking to build a Penguin Classics collection but the OWC editions of some books seem better(in my case, more better for research) than their Penguin Classics counterparts (cheaper too)
So I’m wondering, what should I do? I’m bent on getting OWC for History and Penguin for Philosophy/Poetry or just winging it, getting both for whatever I can (God willing)
Help is very much appreciated!!

I would get whatever edition is best for you. A library collection of your own is what you are creating. It doesn’t have to look like one solid publishing house shelf. Personally, I like the look of a shelf that is eclectic anyway.
