One of the frustrations anyone who studies Latin is the lack of cheap editions of the good stuff. Especially if you want notes. Cicero's First Catilinarian Oration, a traditional first encounter with unadapted Latin, costs $35 (as of this writing). This book is good—I've used it in past classes—but $35? That seems high.
It is downright cheap by comparison to what I have just had to do. My advanced students are reading Thomas More's Utopia. There are no student editions available. None. Well, there is one, but it's not really for students and costs $69. I can't pick that book in good conscience, so I made my own.
For your Free enjoyment, here is Utopia.
