Finnegans Wake Editions?

My first copy of Finnegans Wake was the 628 page original 1939 edition published by Penguin. Then I got the 628 page Viking Compass paperback edition embodying all author's corrections. I recently obtained a hardcover Viking edition that is somewhat easier to read with the larger print, but it's 540 pages.

Is there a hardcover Finnegans Wake edition, embodying author's corrections, with 628 pages? Most books about FW refer by page number which makes it less easy to use them with this 540 page FW.

I am sure this is findable online - but Joyce isn't my specialty. I'd Google your question and also do a search at Bookfinder.com

If anyone has, or knows of a, hardcover 8th edition with 628 pages, please let me know. Meantime, I'll just use the Compass paperback with other books.
