Hello lit, I was just wondering what you think about when it comes to buying books in either paperback, hard or library bindings? I recently bought one of my favorite books and I spent the extra money on the library binding, and a friend thinks I wasted good money. Getting the binding cost me almost five times as much as the paperback, and they don't offer it in hardback.
I don't plan to abuse it, but I do so love hardbacks and this was the only way to get it. I'd just love to hear some opinions!

A bump, I guess this isn't a normal topic on lit to get attention? Or maybe it's been talked to death? I just don't know.

Library binding? Do you mean leather-bound?
Also, people on /lit/ don't actually like talking about books, especially when it comes to editions of books that they've never held or read since nobody here reads.

No library binding is just a heavy hardback meant to take punishment since many people are meant to be handling the book, so it's got to be tough.
I love books, but you guys all talk about smart people books so while I want to talk to you guys about something I love, I don't have an entry point. Thanks for responding anon, hope you are reading something good :)

library binding is pretty based, they last forever. Usually kind of ugly though

They can be. But I just love my books so much that I want them to last forever, even if I don't mistreat them. I don't own much, I'm below the poverty line in the states but my most prized possession is my books.
