Best Version of Euler: Elements of Algebra

In summary, there are many editions of Euler's Elements of Algebra available on Amazon, causing confusion for readers. Similarly, the same confusion exists for Euclid's Elements. One recommended edition is the Cambridge University Press edition, which is of high quality, albeit not cheap. The typing in this edition is also considered to be of good quality.

Good Question. I think the same confusion exists for Euclid's Elements. I could never figure out which edition to buy.

The price is not steep for a book that is deemed to be of quality mathematics.

One question tho. Is the typing in the Cambridge version nice, i.e., not of the typeset Dover books are?
