I like this RSC version of Shakespeare plays because they give you so much more information. The archaic words are explained in footnotes. For this play I didn't really need the footnotes to grasp the meaning behind the words, for other plays I have read they came in very handy. The book also includes a scene-by-scene analysis which I really liked. This is one of the easier Shakespeare plays I have read, so I feel this would be a good start if you want to get into reading Shakespeare.
