An edition is an argument about how a text should be met. Where the line breaks, how wide the margin runs, whether a note sits at the foot of the page or is exiled to the back: each is a claim about what the reader is for.
The claims we make here are modest. Long measure tires the eye, so the measure is short. Notes belong where the sentence that needs them is, so they stay on the page. Nothing is set in a face that wants to be admired.
A good edition disappears. You should finish it remembering the book.
