This edition has some interesting supplementary material at the same price as the previous Yale editions without similar material. If you already have a previous Yale University Press edition, or if you'd prefer to borrow a book from the library, it's fine to do that. As long as it's a Yale University Press edition, the pagination is the same; if you use O'Neill's Complete Works from the library, the pagination will be different.
