Aesthetically good= constructing an aesthetic, really. from all sorts of sources- philosophical, poetic, emotional, stylistic, structural, political even.
Good book= achieving the highest aesthetic ideal= sublimity.
Classic book= a book that achieves the highest aesthetic ideal/sublimity timelessly.
