Is there any reason to choose hardcover over paperback other than the fact that it's more durable?

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 9 07:45:04 2019 No.13962005 >>13961985 yes, for flexing purposes

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 9 09:29:18 2019 No.13962365 >>13961985 Lasts longer, looks better, you can lay the book open without holding it. What more reason do you need?

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 9 09:43:54 2019 No.13962423 >>13961985 Does anybody know whether Everymans are faux-sewn or actually sewn? The price is a bit too good for it to be true.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 9 09:54:30 2019 No.13962467 >>13961985 you know how in Morrowind some weapon and armour materials are more conductive to enchantment/soul embodiment? a hardcover book is like a daedric cuirass while a paperback is like dwemer boots or something equivalent

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 9 10:31:55 2019 No.13962604 >>13961985 A good hardcover is always better than paperback. it requires no effort to keep the book open. I use a reading light that attaches to the book and it is really awkward to use with paperbacks, especially if there is not many pages.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 9 10:34:50 2019 No.13962616 >>13962423 Good question, I have two books by Everyman's that are bound (Nostromo and Orwell's essays) and one that is glued (temple of the golden pavillion). Maybe has something to do with the amount of pages?

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 9 10:59:09 2019 No.13962716 >>13962668 If you have the shekels, Folio Society is great.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 9 12:36:22 2019 No.13963134 >>13962716 They usually have shit-tier translations for foreign works, though.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 9 14:56:52 2019 No.13963640 >>13962423 >>13962616 Apparently it has to do with the UK publisher changing to glued bindings for books under 300 pages. The US publisher doesn't have this issue.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 9 15:08:32 2019 No.13963686 hardcover books are not as comfy as softies, which allow for more reading positions.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 9 16:20:16 2019 No.13964044 >>13962423 Mine is sewn. Got them from Amazon US, though. Very nice books. Once you try Everyman's there's no going back.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 9 16:28:09 2019 No.13964100 >>13963640 Cheers, will keep that in mind.
