If you've searched the books you know there are a lot of Moby-Dick editions available. While you don't have to read an actual book to participate in this event, some might want to read along. Share your favorite editions and let us know why.

Here's link I poached from the other Moby-Dick group who are reading the book in a month. You'll find photos of some great black and white illustrations.

Moby-Dick 1930 edition that was illustrated by Rockwell Kent

Mark Vickers This reminds me the quote about cameras. That is, your favorite camera should be the one you happen to be carrying at the time. I think the same applies to Moby-Dick. I have a two paper versions and two Kindle versions. Love em all.

But, the version illustrated by Rockwell Kent is terrific! I usually go here to look at it: http://s77.n15.n84.n66.static.myhostc...
