we all agree NYRB are the GOAT publishers right?

New Directions would like to have a word with you.

Their only distinguishing characteristic is their marketing strategy of publishing meme edgelord books to pursue the fedora audience.
If that's what it takes to be GOAT publisher than we're living in impoverished times.

Go to their catalogue, close your eyes, swirl your finger around in the air and then press it somewhere on the screen. There you go.

There are only three acceptable publishers:
>Everyman
>Penguin
>Wordsworth
Anyone who disagrees is both a pleb and a pseud, and an enemy of reason.

>Not Oxford University Press
This guy

wordsworth editions are not great
some university presses, signet, nyrb and faber are also top publishers

>wordsworth editions are not great
They're cheap, and they've got what you need. They're the glory hole of literature.

best publishers:

NYRB
Dalkey
New Directions
Farrar, Straus & Giroux

Runner ups:
Dzanc
Dedalus

Scribner = Modern Library= NYBR = Oxford > all

Good shit.

Look out plebs Loeb coming through...

I'm a fan of old Viking press, everyman, and modern library hardcovers. The paper quality is always superb.

Critical editions of books are delicious. I feel like I unfold something new about literary theory every time I dive into one.

>>8312026
>not including Vintage
Vintage is the most patrician division of Random House.

>>8312187
Loeb's classics are pleb-tier
>>8312408
Plus reading any classical work w/o an apparatus criticus is pathetic

What do you like so much about Dzanc? I worked for them for a time and t b h a lot of the catalog is pretty mediocre.

>>8312703
