What is the greatest paperback publisher, and why is it Modern Library Classics?
if for no other reason, the fucking FEEL of the book, they look great and all, but when you pick one up, you're greeted with sumptuous vitality, between the matte covers, you feel the pliable and strong coursing of a wriggling python, so giving, so ready to be read, so durable, and effective in editing, price, translation, and content, tell me, i beg you to show me a superior paperback novel series. you'll only be doing me a great service in proving me wrong and showing me something even better!

>cruddy paperfeel, most books crumble quickly with use, spine cracks menacingly instead of creasing without threatening to destroy the book, literally feels sharp in the hand, never affording a good grip to let you forget the big piece of wood in your hand
wrong.

They do good work, no question. I'm still mildly irked that I have their editions of Haggard's She and King Solomon's Mines, but they didn't publish a matching edition of Allan Quartermain, the other essential Haggard.

I love their binding. The spine never bends similar to the Suhrkamp books I have.
