I like hardcovers.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 30 14:17:40 2018 No.12010440 >>12010313 They're nice to look at but they're selection as far as editions go is very limited. You're almost always paying more for a lower quality reading experience. They make great gifts though.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 30 14:34:15 2018 No.12010521 >>12010491 For me, paperbacks are more comfortable to hold but less comfortable to read. Hardcovers have better typography and are easier on the eyes.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 30 14:35:01 2018 No.12010526 I donn't understand people who keep books after you've read them. I usually just throw them in the bin. Would you keep a banana peel after you've finished eating it?

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 30 14:36:34 2018 No.12010532 >>12010526 That's understandable if all you read are airport novels.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 30 14:38:46 2018 No.12010544 >>12010500 Of editions. As in nearly all Hardcovers are public domain translations with no additional material while you can get a great selection of specialized academic editions in paperback. Everyone knows this.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 30 14:39:54 2018 No.12010551 >>12010503 Sturdy as in the pages don't fall out and are thick enough not to tear easily. I have some books that have become truly dogeared over the years, but they're still perfectly readable and held together strongly.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 30 14:41:34 2018 No.12010557 >>12010532 I'll have you know that I've disposed of some of the finest literature.
