Pushkin or NYBR? I've only read Petersburg once by Pushkin but I was pretty disappointed with the spine, otherwise they do pretty handsome books.

The fuck do you think? Penguin are the fucking Chinese of books. How fucking thin are the microcolumns in your cortez? Wow... Just fucking wow. Might want to get a cat scan next time you go to the fucking doctor.

>Penguin are the fucking Chinese of books.
I'm not even sure what that's supposed to mean. Are you saying they write solely in ideogram?
>>9732229
>the Chinese of books
Huh?
>>9732237
It means the quality is a façade. Just like everything made by Chinese suicidal children, like Apple products. The books are literally printed in China in mass market paperback format. They use the cheapest format, paper, glue, and even the translations are Chinese quality.

What did he mean by this?

>Penguin are the fucking Chinese of books.
I don't understand?

That's where you're objectively wrong. McDuff's translations are phenomenal.
>>9732273
you're trying too hard bucko. Penguins are great.

/lit/'s own Wiki says to never use Penguin, so to criticise what I say is criticism of this fucking faggot community. That's fine, though because we're r*ddit now, not 4chan. Users here fall for Penguin's 90% budget on gorilla marketing.
