Anyone here have this edition?
What's the quality like?
I've read online that it's not perfect bound which is good but does it feel good? Is the paper good quality? How do the covers feel? Do they feel durable?
I generally prefer cloth bound covers but I'm desperate for an edition that feels good to read and isn't glued so may have to make a compromise here

Did you just buy your first easy chair or something OP? Because it seems like you're very eager for a good copy to sit down with.

>it's not perfect bound which is good
Only the shittiest paperbacks are perfect bound. The problem with popular books that people mostly buy as shelf decoration is that you can get away with really shitty binding as long as the cover looks striking (which is easy to achieve), and sell actually good bindings at a much higher price.

Yeah, those Penguin classics hardcovers are perfect bound which almost defeats the point of a hardcover.

There are like a million reviews for this shit anon. They are hardcover with sown binding and it's a book what else do you need to know?

Have this addition

Looks beautiful obviously, bineding quality ok.
Without the covers they look even better, Black with gold lettering. The paper quality and lettering is 10/10.
There probably the best modern hard cover editions.
