They are important.They get a better book,not in content,but in aestethics.
But when I just want to read something,I pick up the first edition I happen to come across.
I just don't understand how can a book can get almost disintegrated while you carry it around.Most /lit/izens seem to destroy their penguin books.

let me guess. you buy all of your books from thrift books or some shit and you read all of Nietzsche and Schopenhauer, maybe started reading Spinoza or Deleuze but it was way too abstract and boring so you gave up. You are actually 16 or 17 years old, and are thinking that you want to pursue psychology thinking that it will be a practical application of your intellectual interests. Reply if I should continue.
