I have a edited hardback that's not too bad, but it's been pretty heavily abridged. Plus, they took out all the wonderful typographic stuff like the long 's' and the ligatures.
I've seen a few good copies at Powell's (they currently have copies of the 5th and 6th editions), including a gorgeous, old leather-bound set that I processed for an internet order. It had come in from a warehouse and it was the first I saw it. So tempting to pretend like it never came in and run off with it! But I can't afford dictionaries like that..
