tacky trash for idiots with a lot of money and no class

Thus Spoke Zarathustra folio print looks pretty good

Who made you the decider on that?

>>8624429
the new york review of books puts some good stuff out

O' Mara, White Books

Everyman's library looks pretty neat. Apart from printing my Ulysses upside down...

>>8624652
Must have been the Australian edition.

Dalkey, modern library, oxford, knopf, Princeton, Harvard

Special shoutout to penguin for being there for everything.

Of all time: Virago
Currently: Persephone

not him but don't you think that photo is tacky?

>>8624672
>Persephone

that publisher specializes in ancient chick lits, right? lol

>>8624452
They have some tacky designs and some very nice ones, it depends on the book.

>>8624452
Their children's lit seems nice desu.

>>8624452
it's like criterion, you have to take it on a book by book basis (except criterion are much better imo)

>>8624680
not chick lit, butthead

>>8625001
criterion remasters old movies no one else cares about and adds extra material to their releases. folio puts a fancy cover and gives it a $100 prize. it's pretty different imo.

If you're going to spend real money on books, get the oldest, handsomest editions you can afford in good quality. Modern reprints are a vulgarity.

Kek

>>8625013
true. criterion is doing a service but folio is just overcharging for books that should be free

>>8625015
not him but
>it's not chick lit

>>8625079
hey now i didn't say anything about free

>>8625080
so?

>>8624429
Two, not one:

Penguin, if it's my first time reading a certain book, since I tend to fuck up the covers and pages as I naturally progress.

Everyman's Library, should I care enough to want a premium edition of a book that I have already read, to use as "decoration."

check dubs

>>8625014
I wouldn't get old editions of anything for my children. If they're going to accidentally destroy something, I'd rather it be something I could re-buy.

>>8625013
Folio commissions new illustrations for their books. That isn't really cheap to do, especially considering the renown of a lot of their illustrators.

What are the best clothbound books to buy. Some guy in another thread showed these basic, but very pretty, clothbound books. But I can't seem to find the old thread.
