Organization[edit]
For easy navigation I'd like to suggest that the table of contents for both parts one and two as well as the parts of the translators preface be included on the main page for ease of navigation. All four other versions of Don Quixote on Wikisource are organized in this fashion. It would be a little long but I think we can handle it. If no one objects or beats me to it, I'll do it myself, as I can't think of any potential problem that could arise from doing so. --Metal.lunchbox 23:07, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Appendix[edit]
This edition does not include Ormsby's appendix (see end of his introduction) and on principle it should be there. It's part of the book scanned and for some readers it could be important. Deisenbe (talk) 11:55, 16 January 2018 (UTC) Deisenbe (talk) 11:55, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
Corrected version of Ormsby's translation[edit]
While it is not public domain, plenty of cheap used copies are available:
- Ormsby translation, revised backgrounds and sources criticism ; edited by Joseph R. Jones and Kenneth Douglas. New York : Norton, 1981. ISBN 0393090183
It's what I used to teach out of for years. Do not confuse this edition with the 1998 edition from the same publisher, which is not Ormaby's translation and which I do not recommend.
