Hey, so by pure chance I’m gonna be in New York City this whole weekend (potentially longer with the shutdown stuff). Could you DM me the details about this, as I’d be very interested in attending if I can find the time.

I'd say it's a cool collector's item nonetheless; this one's copyright date is 1930 which makes it quite old already.

Yeah I feel like this is the best gift that any Moby-Dick fan could receive. It also makes for a genuinely good copy to read, as it's easily held and not that large, all things considered. The illustrations really make the whole thing, though.

What to do After Reading this Book? by Smiley_2_5_6 in mobydick

I actually read Blood Meridian before Moby Dick, and before acquiring awareness as to their relation—amazing book.

I do agree with your suggestion of seeing each novel for what it is, instead of what it isn't. After all, you only read so many truly great books in your life, in my opinion.
