this is worse than Morrisey getting a Penguin Classic. What's next? Norton Critical Editions for Harry Potter or Stephen King?

they're corporations, buddy. they sell "prestigious" editions, they don't sell good literature. just like criterion with their wes anderson and michael bay releases, the quality of the work doesn't matter as much as the mystique behind the brand.
