Been thinking about getting into bookbinding and making my own personal classical literature library over time, like The Easton Press but better. Physical media, archival quality paper in a tasteful format, leather bound guilt edges...something that might be saved and passed on by our 80 IQ normie descendants for the long haul. (Bonus: to sell an extra bespoke copy or two to fellow nutters at cost, since the economics quite certainly do not pencil-out).

I've schizo posted about this before; something like Asimov's "Foundation" for but classical lit, to survive the next time 98% of the corpus is lost. Also, just to have physical hard copies that are a little nicer than what you find in academia (Teubner, Oxford Classical Texts, Loeb's, etc). Trying to find tasteful "ego library" editions of classical lit is difficult, most likely for very good reasons.

A fool's errand to be sure. Just wondering if anyone else on /clg/ has fantasized about this...
