books are meant to be abused and tossed, and the paper yellowed, torn and rotted into indecipherability

Wow, you shills are really out in full force today. Why would I buy an expensive version of an ENGLISH language author, when I could pick up a Wordsworth for 2 bucks since there is no translation quality to worry about?

why buy a wordsworth if you can read it online for free?

What if I actually want to enjoy reading the book? Reading on a computer sucks.

>> No.11441808

>>11441792
why read when we can talk about reading it on /lit/

>> No.11441821

>>11441804
my point exactly

if you want the tactile sensation of turning a page and holding a book, why not go for something where the paper quality is top notch and the binding allows for a non-creasing spine? If it's a financial issue, fair enough, but don't question the why when it's a problem of how.
