while the barnes and noble leatherbound classics are very great books (price, design, mechanical build) I like the penguin hardcover classics more. the selection of titles is far more minimal but the designs are more aesthetic

I love this one

Barnes and Noble used to have a doooope ass Necronomicon by Lovecraft but I can't find it anywhere. Shit would make you feel like you're really reading a Necronomicon

I have pic related, it's a nice leatherbound tome

>>9969898
nice, mind me asking what it cost and where you got it

>>9969908
not him, but there's one on bookdepository for 23 eurobucks atm

>>9969926
thanks for letting me know, I'm looking it up now

Can anyone tell me something about the print of these publications?
The cover doesn't really matter if the print is crap.

Also, fuck Shakespeare's hardback isn't available on Book Depository, fuck my country location and fuck my life.

I got this penguin deluxe edition of the Greek myths because I thought it looked cool as fuck, but I haven't read very far into it because its kind dull

Considering I save covers to attach to my sideloaded ebooks via calibre, I appreciate this thread. I'll post some of my faves.

Okay, so it's not EXACTLY a cover, but I use it as one anyway.

this one pisses me off because it would look so much better if the Y was leveled. Can somebody shop it so it doesn't look stupid? Maybe make the Y a hair slimmer along the inside as well.

>>9969585
I saw that in the bookstore for $60 I was so tempted to buy it, is there anywhere that sells the complete works of Shakespeare in a cool leather bound hard cover?

every cover in this thread apart from most of >>9969938 are tacky as fuck

>>9969672
>>9970190
They look a lot better in person. And the feel of the cloth is so comfy. I love the penguin clothbound classics even if they get shit on here.

I have a soft spot for these

>>9971050
except the man with the golden gun. Breaks the pattern. Poor design.

>>9971047
good design doesn't get outdated my dude
fact is that 9 out of 10 good book covers feature only typography and basic shapes
nearly all other ones in here are elvis snowglobe clown shit

those are pretty sweet. i like this lot as well, mostly because it's a totally shameless pulp throwback style and it isn't played for laughs

>>9970216
Foreskin leather

Never read any Bond novel as I don't like the movies at all, just wondering whether there are any noughty bits in them, or are there just covers.

>>9969898

>>9970070

>>9969585

>>9969585
