National Edition Series A Volume 7: Preludes. Piano Solo.: Chopin National Edition Vol. VII (National Edition of the Works of Fryderyk Chopin, Series a, 7)

A top edition. The print is spacious, easy to read and well laid out with basic fingering suggestions. Binding is reasonably good even if not quite at the level of Henle or Wiener; for small to medium number of pages it is not much of an importance ; but for larger volumes such as 200 pages it will be an issue to keep it open and lay flat and the back will be marked. Paper is slightly colored but not as much as Henle.At the end in a separate sheet which can be removed the performance comments provide some additional information quite usefull (also source comments on the origin and various adjustments made or variations). Edition by Jan Ekier a renowned specialist of Chopin.Overall difficult to do any better for the overall quality of the content irrespective of the price.
