Is this hardcover any good to put on my shelf. Aesthetically speaking, they've other books too.
>tfw all your book covers have to be aesthetic
No. That's like the self-help middle aged business man version. Especially with the non-scholarly Self-help introduction, and lack of good secondary material. Probably a shit translation too.
Get the Everyman Edition.

Just read his wiki page and move on to someone better and less spook'd.

Do you have the cloth or normal edition?
>>7414491
That looks really awful. It looks like it should be made of the sorta cheap plastic you'd find in a motel 6. The colors look like something on a cheap shirt an edgy tween would buy at a mall. Yuck.

All Everyman Classics are clothbound iirc
>>7414577
Are you sure? Because some places they specifically write (Cloth) and there's a different kind of cover picture too with just the title and author and no picture.

That's often Amazon being silly--for some reason Everyman and Amazon aren't very compatible, I've seen Everyman books on amazon where the only available book was £999.
The reason one version may have a different cover is usually due to it being another edition--a different translation or something.

Seconding this.
>thinking Machiavelli is some sociopathic fag because you've only ever read the prince
Shameful.

I don't get it.

I've no clue then; clothbound is like pic related isn't it? (my Everyman Conrad)
>>7414647
Yeah that should be cloth bound I guess, and then what I was thinking was that the one with the picture is just a normal hardback you know? I don't know which I would prefer. I also read somewhere that "newer" Everyman books under 400 pages are glued instead of stitched or something like that.
It wouldn't be a regular hardback--the pic I just posted was my Everyman with the jacket off. All Everymans I have are the same material.
>>7414669
Oh now I get it, the picture ones are the ones which show the jacket whereas the "cloth" ones are the ones which show the actual book.
Do you know anything about the glued vs stitched?
>>7414681
Never heard of glue being used in a hardcover. >>7414683
Pic related lad
