99.999 times out of 100 these clumsy deluxe hardcover meme editions look like absolute dogshit. This is because they try to emulate the style of bookbinding in the late 19th and early 20th century, while lacking the proper materials, craftsmanship and most importantly quality of design. If you need a heavy, overpriced, aesthetically deficient piece of shit in order to emulate taste and sophistication in the most superficial manner possible, by all means go ahead. But don't turn your nose up at people who don't waste their money on this trash.

How does /lit/ feel about these books? I've been recently looking at buying some classics and I found these at my local B&N. Should I stick to regular editions or are these worth a buy?
