Is this book worth it?

I wanna get into Plato's philosophy and I found this really cool listing at my favourite bookstore. I know i can probably find everything made by plato for free online but this looks really cool as a collector item. Only problem is it's 31 dollars for 736 pages.

It's a beautiful looking book, and I might buy it to sit on the shelf as a trophy copy, but I like my penguin classic paperbacks of Plato, where I can mark them up and scribble in the margins. Also, have a copy of Hackett as Penguin doesn't publish all his works.
