What's your favourite publisher? I always try to get an Everyman's Library edition if I can. They feel so nice and tend to hold up well. I've got some of my dad's from years ago and they still look great, despite being read many times and carried around in bags.

Who makes the best hardcovers and why is it Everyman's?

I got like 5 of those as gifts. Count of Monte Cristo, Aesop's Fables and the Oscar Wilde Selected Works are okay. Sherlock Holmes and especially the Divine Comedy are horrifying. The gilded pages in particular are painful.

But to OP, no, but vanity does hold some weight in my decisions. If I am looking to buy works in english, I'll usually fork out the extra money to get Everyman's Hardcover editions. They look better and last longer.
