/lit/ I have a $20 Barnes & Noble gift card. What do I get from this list:

>barnes & noble classics

Am I the only one that thinks these are ugly? I'd rather go to a used bookstore and by a nicer looking copy for the same price.

Yeah, they are shit. OP, your gift is worthless. You might as well melt the gift card and sell it for whatever the plastic is worth.

Maybe some of them, but our 'leatherbounds' are gorgeous. Every time I walk by that beautiful Arabian Nights cover I consider proposing.

Pic related. It doesn't shine in this image, but it's still great.

Oh, and in case you didn't know, classics are all buy two get one free in our stores at the moment. So you might want to grab them there instead of online, not sure what the online discounts are.

lol now that's being quite extreme. OP could still go into an actual B&N store and find much nicer copies of these books. It's just on 's wishlist he has a shitload of B&N classics which are ugly as fuck.

I work at B&N too...

I walked by the Arabian Nights book all the time and finally bought it, it's such a beautiful edition. First thing I bought with my employee discount lol

Nice. That is fucking sexy.

I was really only talking about the paperback classics like the ones on OPs list. Those are ugly.

>> No.1395454

>>1395441

I actually haven't, because I already own the paperback version.

Every time I see it I consider it, though, if only as something to put on the mantle. It's also one of my favorite works, so...

>>1395442

Yeah, most of those are pretty bland. Some are okay.

>> No.1395471

>>1395454
I have multiple editions of different works just cause sometimes it's easier, or looks nicer or whatever. and I mean if it's your favourite.. and it's only 20... and you have employee discount...

buy yourself a christmas present man!

This is the copy I have. I found it used. None of the damage is from me. It's pretty cool I think. The pages are really yellow though.

I was actually saving up to buy this huge unabridged leather bound set with color illustrations from a local used bookstore, but someone beat me to the punch. It was like $400. Maybe I should turn some of that towards this.
