Oxford World Classic's definitely handle better than Penguin's books, which after multiple reads start to show wears in their spines very quickly, I've read my Crime and Punishment about three times and already the spine is slowly starting to go to shit. Lots of white marks everywhere. Just looks unpleasant.

Lately I've bought-
War with the Newts-Capek, halfway through so far up to the second book, enjoying it a little and a lot of it reminds me of Planet of the Apes quite a lot especially the questions it brings up.
Blood Meridian-Cormac McCarthy
Petersburg-Andrei Bely

I unfortunately got the Picador edition of BM since that's what we're stuck with in the UK and the Pushkin Press version of the Bely book.

See, I'm still a big fan of Penguin too. But, I don't mind my book showing wear. I mean, they are meant to be read unless you buying a collectible. As long as it physically doesn't start falling apart or isn't extremely cheap I'm usually fine with it.

I've been meaning to buy Petersburg as well, especially the Penguin edition. The cover is one of my favorites. But I've reserved holding off on more Russian /lit/ until October of this year. That way I can get uber-depressed and blue during the winter instead of for no reason at all.

Cheap paperbacks were created because publishers weren't making enough money selling good quality hardbacks to wealthy people. So they decided they would make books with the shittest possible quality to sell to poor people.

You are literally playing into the publisher's greedy hands when you purchase a paperback.

Quality new hardback editions exist for very few classics. To amass a collection of quality editions of great books would mean purchasing old editions in auctions for extortionate amounts of money.

As opposed to being elitist and spending more money to appeal to status of owning hardbacks. Because corporations don't make hardbacks, do they?

You would be better off, and you would save so much money by renting books from the library first. And if you like them and if you think you will read it again, purchase a good quality one.

Do you read? Like I've said before, my library doesn't have non-fiction, nor English lit that I want.
Also, your argument makes no sense once again.

>And if you like them and if you think you will read it again, purchase a good quality one.
Why not just rent it again sometime later? Why do you feel like you have to own a ''good quality one'' (you can read paperbacks many times and they will remain absolutely fine, and the words or their meaning don't change with the cover, but I'll pretend to go along in your delusion) are you just some fucking brainless capitalist minion that hobbles around the corporation's dicks looking for some gilded precum to feel better about yourself? Mao would've had you executed on sight, you bourgeois swine.

>But no, you guys are more interested in creating a budget-bookshelf with as much quantity as you can so you can show off to anonymous strangers.
Are you overcompensating because you own three books?
Also, what even makes you think of these threads as ''showing off'' with such negative connotations? I always like to see what people are reading, and pictures are more interesting than just words. Sometimes the covers are really nice as well.

Do you happen to think buying books is expensive? If you're a dill hole that buys 4 a week and never reads them then you're wasting money. If you buy 2 or 3 a month it's barely costing anything - and that's if you got them new.

Now it's pretty obvious you don't buy or read many physical books but libraries are shit. They have a selection for old people /idiots/you and they charge you to order in more obscure books and then you have to wait a week or so for them to get them in. That's assuming that book is in the libraries within their group of libraries. If you don't live in a bigger city your library might just not be able to get that book. Which they could easily not have if you are at all interested in books that are new, foreign or slightly obscure. Then you have to return the fucking things and worry about damaging or losing them. Then you can't re-read them or flick through again in the future.

The other value of buying books from a bookshop is finding new books. If it's a half decent bookshop it will have new books by new writers or obscure gems.

Maybe you care about world history and ancient cultures. Did you know ISIS is destroying the ancient city of Nimud from the Assyrian Empire, one of the first world empires, and other priceless artifacts because they're "pagan"?

Or maybe you're a citizen in a country like Canada, US, or France where there have been lone-wolf attacks inspired by ISIS as well as several plots foiled by authorities within these nations? Such things are changing social dynamics and how other citizens view or perceive Muslims living in their country.

There's also the fact that there are Western citizens traveling overseas to fight for or against ISIS.

But you're right, these issues have no bearing on anyone living outside of Iraq. Do you even globalization?

The "text of Leaves of Grass, 1891-1892" which would make it 3rd edition right? I think the first was released in the 1850s.
