>>7444601

obviously penguin is bullshit but I see their new hardcover series in bookstores constantly and theyre quite beautiful
>>7444593
My favorites: Minnesota Press, Vintage, Verso. OPs choice is also great
>>7444613
i heard their new arthur miller stuff is good too
Anyone else detest the OUP typeface?
>>7444651
no, what don't you like about it?
it's big and clean-looking. im not so concerned with the font, which is ideal.
>>7444665
Too stylised imo. I mean, I'll still read 'em, I'm just growing tired of looking at that grandiose typeface every time. Will pick some other publisher if possible.
I also feel like the Penguin hate on this board is mostly contrarianism, essentially disliking what's popular because liking what's popular makes you a pleb. In my experience, most Penguin editions are well edited by an expert in the field/author, who writes an introduction which puts you on the right critical path without overlabouring the point. My Penguin edition of Don Juan was expensive but is by far the best edition of it that I was able to find.

i didnt even know penguin was considered "establishment"
Personally I just dislike them because their covers are gross-- those weard bands? the oxford ones with the whole-page images are much nicer-- and the spacing isnt very pleasing to me
Obv Penguin & Oxford are the best publishers for making pretty much the entire canon available, always.
Vintage International for the feel of the paper (light, recycled, grey) and cover (not too thick, pliable) and nicely line spaced.

Norton Critical Editions are pretty great too. Some are even better than their OWC counterparts.
Hackett for general philosophy, and Cambridge for political philosophy.
>The Karamazov Brothers
WHY?
>>7444797
Just started that exact edition today

Why is Penguin bullshit? I think they're a great publisher, but maybe I'm just a pleb.

They're fine. It's a meme to dislike them. The only flaw is that they sometimes have mediocre translations.
>>7444593
OUP, Penguin, NYRB, Everyman.

God works for the Oxford publishing?
>>7445043
Yes he started last tueday. He shares the corner office with Stacy.
Agreed, I've been meaning to start this thread for a while. OUP has best translators, editors and notes. Their Joyce and Melville for example. 200-400-paged copies are pretty durable too, meanwhile all penguins dent and bend easily.

Norton Critical Eds with the bible paper are hands-down the best.

This thread gets posted like twice a month there's nothing here that hasn't been discussed 1000 times. Lurk more newfag.

u of minn's Deleuze series is the godsex of paperbacks imo. even if some of the translations are poor
