Everyman's Library

Penguin Clothbound Classics.

The only shit thing about it is that the white parts of the cover disappears after use.

folio society edition

>>7998682
You can't get those anymore, unless you buy them second hand and pay a shit ton more than the original price.
>>
>>7998616
No
But I forced myself to read it on english and I think that I fucked up my enjoyment of it. I should reread it in my native language like a loser one of these days
>>
>>7998495
Northwestern Newberry Editions are the best Melville. Hard-backs in this case are for plebs.
>>
>>7998682
That looks beautiful. It's a shame it is sold out everywhere.
>>
>>7998495
Somebody explain to me why this book holds such a prominent place in our culture.
>>
>>8001544
because it's the great american novel
>>
>>8001555
Oh, okay, nevermind then.
>>
>>7998717
Most editions use the Northwestern-Newberry version, from what I've seen. Just check the copyright page.

>>7998495

>>
>>7998645
the white part of the cover has rubbed off for me as well but I don't mind that much
>>
>>8001781

that image looks terrible though. It looks like some 3rd rate stuff you'd see on deviantart, kek
>>
I won't create a new thread just for that, so I will ask here:

Which edition/publication of the Arabian Nights do you recommend?
>>
>>7998495
Easton Press if you want to waste $65

Its needlessly expensive, but it looks nice

Can someone recommend a book which contains most of lovecraft's works which isn't riddled with a chidlish design on the cover?
>>
>>8001555
No, it's more universal than that.
>>
>>8004223
Every publication of lovecraft is covered with faggot shit cause H.P. Lovecraft was a hack and all his fans are 14 year old edgelords
>>
>>8004223
>Lovecraft
>Not getting those Arkham House editions of the 40's
>>
>>8004569
Sorry but this looks gay. Why can't it be a plain cover?
>>
Why wasn't Moby-Dick recognized as a masterpiece when it was first published?
>>
>>8004739
Too crazy for the 19th century I imagine.
>>
>>8004739
Because nobody wanted to read 400 pages of instructions on how to capture and kill whales.
>>
>>8004185
Edition?
