Over the years, I've picked up a number of editions of Bunyan's classic work. This is what I currently have:
Barbour "Deluxe Christian Classics" edition ISBN 1577489160 HB, 304pp
Oxford World Classics, W.R. Owens, editor. Oxford University Press, 2003. PB ISBN 0192803611 333 pages
Penguin Classics, Roger Pooley, editor 2008 384 pages ISBN 0141439718 (This one includes some classic illustrations)
I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than me would have an idea about what differences there may be between these editions, (and I have no idea what text the Barbour edn. uses) and which one would be "better" etc. The Oxford and Penguin editions have some explanatory notes, etc. I suppose I should keep them all, especially the two critical editions. Is there a better edition that I don't have?
