These bindings upset pseuds not only because they're new and lack any visible signs of wear, but because by virtue of being well-crafted hardcovers they're unlikely to accumulate them anytime soon. These are very disturbing qualities in books to your average il/lit/erati who yearns to demonstrate nicely creased and cracked "definitely perused and totally not pseud" paperback spines more than he wants to actually read the very pages they hold together. In their eyes investing in a sturdy luxurious leather or nicely decorated buckram bindings to please the owner's eye and provide the books with more longevity is antithetical to the one and only reason of owning physical books at all, that is to serve as an achievement display that would quickly and unambiguously communicate to two drunken girls and three college dudebros who visit their studio once a year just how authentically e/lit/e and genuinely well-read the owner is, whilst definitely not trying to pretend to want to hope to look like it. Plus of course the price factor also breaks some typical local self-imposed illusions of being a chosen member of some semi-secret class of penniless bohemian intellectuals engaged in cultural guerilla warfare on the back line of a grand army of philistine en-pee-see bougies, that so many younger members of /pol/ for smart people seem to be under. These are quite hilarious idiosyncrasies and I can wholeheartedly recommend skimming through some older shelf threads to find people both accusing someone of buying particular bindings to show off and chastising the others for not having their spines project the required aura of "well-readness" quite strong enough all in a single post.

Reminder that socialists are vermin that should be wiped from the face of the Earth.

I have to agree with the gentleman from the other thread too. FUCK niggers and absolutely FUCK jannies.
