I like centipede press but only buy paperbacks on principle that books are meant for reading. And while hardbacks are great for displaying, they aren’t built for reading, not any more anyway. If you can’t squeeze it into your coat pocket for a spot of lunch time reading it’s not worth the time of day to even think about buying it.
I mostly agree about your view on paperbacks but there is something to be said for buying pretty versions of your favorite books even if just for vanity's sake
I want this book but I don’t wanna pay 240 😢

Fair enough! I read all my Centipedes but I also never leave my house anymore. :)

@@Lucarioguild7 yeah I do concede that is the case and the book does look lovely.
I bought the dune copies from centipede and I’m reading them. Books are meant to be read and I’ll never buy a book just to display it
