Is the Oxford World's Classics edition edited by David Bradshaw not
available in the US (I haven't checked!)

Another question for the list:

For a class this autumn, I want to teach the British, not the American,
texts of Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. Mrs Dalloway is easy: the newly
reset Penguin edition has a superb introduction by Elaine Showalter and an
intelligent edition of the UK text by Stella McNichol.

To the Lighthouse is more difficult: the reset Penguin edition, with its
excellent text, has a cartoon cover by Alison Bechdel that uses words that
aren't in the book and which seems more like vandalism than illustration. I
can't bring myself to assign that edition. Is there any other readily
available in the US that uses the UK text (identifiable by ending "The
Window" with "For she had triumphed again.", where the US text ends "She had
not said it: yet he knew.")?

The elegantly-printed Vintage paperback of Mrs. Dalloway uses the UK text
(reproduced from the Everyman's Library edition from a few years ago), so I
hoped the Vintage paperback of To the Lighthouse would also use the UK text,
but, alas, it uses the US text.

It's impractical to ask students to order books from the UK, so I'm hoping
for something that a college bookstore can order in the ordinary way. Any
help will be gratefully received.
