>Good: Breaking the spine is very satisfying and makes sure that EVERYONE assumes I read the book. Very good and impressive for Shelf Threads on /lit/. I go out of my way to demolish the spines.
>Bad: Paper cheaper than TP at a McDonalds.
That is, I would not even wipe my arse with it. For me? It's OUP.

I accidentally ran over a cat this morning on my way to work. When I just drove home it was still lying there, but on the side of the Landstraße. Someone must've shoved it there. It was really rotten, though; it grew into a deformed sack of decomposing meat in a mere 9 hours only. Crazy stuff. Couldn't even tell it was a cat's corpse if I didn't know it was me who killed it.

at least it isn't Simon & Schuster and that whole situation where they destroyed Milo's book "Dangerous" when it was printed and in the trailers at their warehouse ready to be unloaded and stocked at their warehouse.

Don't ask me how I know all this. Also that stupid fucking book of cope from Hillary "What Happened" right after. Fuck Simon & Schuster.

Someone at work left a penguin book on the break table, didn't even read it. Within half a year the book was in tatters just from people picking it up and reading the synopsis on the back.

Not a big loss for literature

[Anonymous No.21819986]

I absolutely despise then.
Different sizes, different printing methods(those glossy additions that started propping up one of the worst offenders), covers that they know damn well come off with a little palm sweat, and a lower paper quality than Oxford, that yellows faster as well.

They do however, mostly for legacy reasons, have some of the best editions. Sometimes there is just no alternative.

Also they've been threatening a redesign for the last 10 years is that still happening?

You are being serious? Read the title of this “joke” >>21817902
why would I insist there are no book about him? Of course I did not say that.

Now, use the Penguin Classics formula for this book you’ve posted. Put that title on that pictured joke book “His Name is George Floyd” …
So, still not funny, is it? It’s a dud.
Unfunny pol bait is unfunny. Get over it.
