What's /lit/'s opinion on this particular edition of Plato's complete works in terms of paper quality, binding etc.? Is it worth the money in the long run?

Yes, absolutely, the only things that might be problematic is that it's unwieldy (like any other "complete works" in one volume, really) and the paper is thin (again, necessary for such a thick book). But IMO neither of those outweigh the eminently positive aspects of it.

The paper is very thin and it is quite unwieldy. I was actually planning to look into buying separate copies of the individual works I'm most interested in simply because it's so unwieldy and generally uncomfortable to read. With that said, though, it's fine for what it is and does it's job and I have no significant complaints about it, I would just prefer reading from a less cumbersome book.
