nobody is amused, anon

Top tier. I have one in a wood finished countertop book display case. It's the envy of my personal library.

We're all being sincere ITT, dumb weebposter.

So garish. It's like they're for a child's bookshelf

That only makes it worse

This is a real thing? I have probably 20 of these and thought it was cool looking! I've read probably 80% of them so they're not really just for show. This is a bummer thread man :/

>>7558711
around 10 - 20% of them are decent/OK. Most are really gaudy. For the decent ones though it's OK value if you're getting like 3 - 5 books you actually want to read for <$20.

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong...

I bought this a long time ago which kinda reminds me of those. It's pretty nice.

Only seven Jules Verne novels? NOT ENOUGH.

>>7559379
Verne is actually good though, but the B&N editions presumably use the cheapest/public source shitty translations with cuts and mistakes they could find.

I have The Prince in this edition and it's very nice, had already read it on Kindle but wanted a physical copy because it's nice to have physical copies of books you like.

That's what I meant - his seven most popular works are just scratching the surface. Bet there's no Hunt for the Meteor or Michael Strogoff in there.

>>7556653
it works for arabian nights and shakespeare and maybe a few others, but most of these are so gaudy and overdone it makes me want to puke

>>7559593
if you open the book on the shakespeare you'll see the typesetting/font/layout is awful

IIRC the bradbury one is actually ok as was the gray's anatomy and (foundation?)

>>7559598
I've never actually looked into one, i would imagine they're pretty low quality

Like some of the designs but the paper stock is shit and the covers feel as though they are made from card

Dickens, Homlmed and all the old period dramas like Jane Austen are top tier. The rest are over the top and shit

>>7556886
What's wrong with these exactly?

>>7559697
Low quality, "leather", gaudy/ugly, people buy them to look classy, lots of reddit shelves with these, etc

On top of OP obviously being either new, or somebody baiting hard

>>7556653
Are clothbound hardcovers the master race of books? Elegant but subtle, and very durable.

>baiting hard

This thread is as common as you can get.
